[ Whenever Henry returns to the Unidorm that afternoon, he'll find Alec in the living room. He's dragged a chair over from the kitchen table and has it balanced back on two legs while he fiddles with his phone.
One might assume he's trying to crack the Metanav app (he is), and so far has gotten fucking nowhere (he has). He glances up when the door swings shut, and he just grins. ]
[ There is a Sphinx-colored present with Henry's name on it outside the Unicorn dorm the following day, along with a handwritten note, because she just can't get used to this phone thing. ]
Henry,
Thank you for the present. If you're curious to know, it was a succulent plant inside. I'm grateful!
[ At some point when Henry wanders back into his room, he'll find a small package wrapped in plain brown paper sitting in the middle of his no-doubt immaculately made bed. There's no tag, no team colors, but there is, perhaps, a tiny lightning bolt scribbled onto one corner of the wrapping, should he care to look for it.
(But really, who else would be able to get in and out of Henry's room without being noticed?)
Anyway, peeling back the wrapping paper will reveal a tin of drawing pencils. Maybe this will make up for the dice. ]
[ Hey Henry, are you in your room? He sure hopes so because that portal at the foot of the bed is flickering open, a darkened room in the library on the other side.
Alec promised not to track any dirt or grime into the place, but he kind of forgot about that. He hobbles through the portal, looking a bit dirty, a bit pained, but most striking of all is how the knee of one pantleg is torn, the fabric soaking through with blood. ]
Hey. [ He sucks in a breath between his teeth. ] Gonna need you to hold me up.
[ The second he lets go of his Enhancements, he will fall over. ]
[ it happens outside of the motel. maybe in the graveyard, maybe at the library, or maybe at the diner—because Basilisk still does not have a kitchen, but a tiefling has to eat. wherever it is, there they are.
it's a moment much like a handful of other moments before it. a glimpse of blonde hair twigs in her peripheral and the realization—it's him—hits her like an adrenaline shot. her blood runs cold, her stomach seizes. she feels abruptly even sicker than usual.
and she can't keep taking it.
this time, she forces some kind of mental override in her brain, makes herself move closer instead of ducking away. near enough that he'll be able to hear her murmur, ] ...Can we talk?
