[Allen has finished with the "true form" effect and concerned parties have alternatively fed him, made him cry, or made him go to sleep. In any case he is resting for the night, and Link has grabbed a tabbed notebook and a pen and gone to sit outside to write.]

R-really!?

[boundbydevotion]

...?

Yes, I am. Really.

...I think. You'll have to speak in full sentences soon, Walker. I cannot mind-read.

[allmadeofstars]

Y-you want to—with me—instead of—b-but I—I'm—you're still—!!

[. . . you ask a bit much]

[boundbydevotion]

Do you need a moment to process this information?

[allmadeofstars]

[is sort of. Pushing himself forward, trying to get up and out of bed at the same time, but . . . failing a little, just sort of half-falling on top of Link]

[boundbydevotion]

[kj;adfh--what are you doing???]

[allmadeofstars]

[I . . . DO NOT KNOW]

[clinging to your shoulders, apparently]

[boundbydevotion]

[o...okay? I guess this is an impromptu hug? Rests his hands lightly on Allen's back...]

[allmadeofstars]

[CLINGING SO HARD, shaking a little, his head bowed]

[boundbydevotion]

--oof--Alright, Walker... It's alright...

[peeetpetpet]

[allmadeofstars]

[MAYBE IF WE BOTH PRETEND I'M NOT CRYING ON YOU WITH RELIEF it won't be awkward]

[boundbydevotion]

[the big bad Fourteenth is one terribly lonely little Exorcist]

[boundbydevotion]

[It's difficult not to notice]

[allmadeofstars]

[yeah, well, if you finally clued in . . .]

[getting control of himself again, though he didn't make a noise the entire time; his shoulders stop trembling]

[boundbydevotion]

[now it can be awkward tiems]

[allmadeofstars]

. . .

[now I'm going to hug you, actually]

[boundbydevotion]

[...well if you want. I finished saying all the stuff I prepared. Hugs back...?]

[allmadeofstars]

[you either give really terrible hugs, or really excellent ones]

[boundbydevotion]

[Well, it's not unremarkable in any case... hhhoooldssss]

[allmadeofstars]

It's . . . do you really think it's a good idea? I . . . you'll get hurt . . .

[boundbydevotion]

I am aware of the risks...

[allmadeofstars]

. . .

Yeah.

[boundbydevotion]

[pulls away enough to raise an eyebrow at you]

[allmadeofstars]

I mean, you would be aware. You don't do things without thinking.

So . . . I'm really grateful.
