*Sits up and pats the spot next to him* Hey, what's up?

[healthyinstincts]

[sits]

Are you busy?

[dickpunchingarsonist]

Too busy for you? Nah.

[healthyinstincts]

Mm.

... is it okay... if I ask you something?

[dickpunchingarsonist]

Sure thing. Shoot.

[healthyinstincts]

I've been making sure to stay around people who I trust, and so far nothing bad has happened. But... Dietrich isn't here anymore. So I don't know who you're protecting me from.

[dickpunchingarsonist]

...someone worse.

[healthyinstincts]

I know I need to be careful. But... if I don't know who they are, how am I going to recognize them if I run into them?

[dickpunchingarsonist]

...you'll know.

[healthyinstincts]

How?

[dickpunchingarsonist]

You trust me, right?

[healthyinstincts]

... yes, but... is it really that bad to keep me in the dark?

[dickpunchingarsonist]

I don't want to ruin this visit for you.

[healthyinstincts]

[shakes his head]

There's no way you could do that.

[dickpunchingarsonist]

You don't want to know, okay?

[healthyinstincts]

...

Do you not trust me?

[dickpunchingarsonist]

Of course I do.

[healthyinstincts]

Then why...?

[dickpunchingarsonist]

Because I care about you.

[healthyinstincts]

... fine.

[just makes a frustrated noise and lets his shoulders slump.]

[dickpunchingarsonist]

*Tugs Raph over, resting his chin on his shoulder :|*

You're strong and I know you can take care of yourself, but you're not alone here. You don't have to.

[healthyinstincts]

[tenses up]

I'll have to protect myself and you when I go back home, though.

[dickpunchingarsonist]

Protect me, huh? From what?

[healthyinstincts]

[--oops :x]

[dickpunchingarsonist]

*Pokes his cheek*

Welllll?
