[there were COOL FIGHT and they were both definitely REALLY COOL. possibly randy got to ride a giant god-dragon moon.]

Randy! I was looking for you!

[crimeson]

[FUCK YEAH GIANT GOD DRAGON MOON this in no way made him feel like an inadequate normie.]

Yeah? Hope I wasn't too hard t'find.

[eggstinction]

Not too hard, no. But some of the others have been leaving almost as soon as they see the door! I wanted to talk to you first.

[crimeson]

Guess they can't stomach one more second o' homesickness, huh...

[randy is the exact sort to disappear in the night on a suicide mission don't listen to his shade.]

[crimeson]

Well, I didn't ghost ya. Heya, darlin'.

[eggstinction]

Heya.

[twitters and leans over to give him a peck]

Do you know what I want to ask you?

[crimeson]

[chu. stepping in close and wrapping arms around Moon's middle.

He has a hunch, but at the same time... that feels like asking too much. Like too much hope. Sure they'd mentioned it, pretty directly, even, but... That was with Moon's Shadow, before Randy got swept away for even more sleep, before everyone's powers returned and Randy was obviously Just A Human in stark comparison to it all.

(He fights incredibly, strategizes even better. He wasn't lined up for the name of War God for nothing, but he hates himself far too much to see anything but his own lack. Even so, he brought his best to the battle.)]

You gonna make me guess?

[eggstinction]

[And all the more admirable in Moon's eyes for it. He only had to be more monstrous than the monsters (neverminding the practice his powers demand or his own battlefield experience,) but Randy fought with him. He had grace and skill, and he kept up.

he cups randy's face and strokes over his hair where the ears used to be.]

I am too eager for that. Will you come home with me?

[crimeson]

[oh goddess, it's there and it's real and his brain just kind of recordscratches]

[crimeson]

[and then his voice is all soft and rough and near-breaking.]

Is that... okay?

[eggstinction]

[hard to ask, but easy to answer]

It is.

[crimeson]

...I'd like to.

[eggstinction]

[winds his tail around their legs, coiling and uncoiling the end of it nervously]

Is that a yes?

[crimeson]

It's a yes.

[He's got his misgivings, of course. He'll miss Crossbell, miss his found family. But giving Moon what time he's got... that seems worth it. He's not irreplaceable, even back home.]

[eggstinction]

[They can plan visits— Moon wouldn't stop him from going. He's promised a few worldhops of his own, after all. But that's all logistics they can figure out later, along with all the delightful domesticity of settling a partner into his home.

For now though, he's sweeping Randy up in his arms and SPINNING]

Yes! Yes yes yes!

[crimeson]

[sdflkgf SCOOPED AND SPUN, clinging and laughing delightedly.]

Damn, I thought you'd be happy, but-!

[eggstinction]

[trills loudly, laughing with him]

I am not happy, I am the happiest!

[crimeson]

You might have competition for that one, love~

[eggstinction]

Your happiness is my happiness! My happiness is your happiness.

[crimeson]

Sharing it, huh? I like that.

[eggstinction]

It is that rare thing that once shared is twice doubled.

[sets Randy down, but his arms are still wrapped around him]

Everything I have was already yours, but now you can see it all for yourself.

[crimeson]

I'm hype!!

[yeah he is not LEAVING moon's arms,]

[eggstinction]

I could show you now. My things are packed, my affairs here are in order.

[crimeson]

If you're good to go, I'm good to go.

[eggstinction]

Then let us not tarry longer.

[he only has to grab a few things from Cerberus, including his carnivorous bush Sharky, but he's got enough arms to gather his packages and still keep a hand free for holding Randy's. and to slip a small pouch into Randy's hand.]
