[ thankfully, hope cannot see claude's face to notice the colour that rises, which is good because he would just die again from embarrassment.

he sets his forehead against hope's shoulder, and let's the tension ease out. ]

Me too. I'll admit I likely took your death the hardest here. I'm glad we could return together.

[ hope doesn't say anything, at least not right away. he simply lets claude rests against him, silent, before he starts to stir, a gentle rumbling from his chest coursing through his body. ]

I didn't know you cared so much about me.

[shaft]

[ he snorts a little at that ]

Do you think I'm callous, or do you just think you're not that easy to care for?

[highestheim]

I thought it might do some good for you to get a taste of your own medicine.

[ binch, ]

[ sulky, ] I don't really appreciate it.

But glad that at least you aren't questioning the sincerity of my words.

[highestheim]

[ with that said, hope finally pulls back, smiling warmly at his fellow ghostie. ]

I would never. At least, not when I know you aren't joking around.

[shaft]

[ wow claude isn't done though ]

You're so generous, Hope! What have I done to deserve a friend like you...

[highestheim]

[ i didn't say he stopped hugging! i just said he gave them both room to breathe!! ]

You attended a murder academy, apparently.

[ i just wanted to say there is no need to give them room to breathe :\ ]
