After a warm bath, a bout of clothing-based gymnastics, and William being carted around, Yorgrim pushes the curtain aside and pokes his head into the tent.

"Darner?"

*He’s at least made it as far as the edge of the bed, legs dangling off the side with a blanket around his shoulders. The tent looks somehow spruced up and untidy in differing ways. He looks up when they enter.*

“……. I’m sorry.”

[cptn-briggsy-kratch]

“Briggs?”

{ @billythewitchesbane }

*He lifts his head, having wandered out of the Caravan some time ago. He smiles sweetly.*

“Hi! Jerry had ‘ta go back ‘ta tha Lune and check on Mari.”

[cptn-briggsy-kratch]

*Yorgrim approaches.*

[ @fallen-shamans-spirit ]

*Like assumed, Briggsy has plopped himself into the middle of the nest, and is looking a little forlorn as he twiddles his thumbs. He perks up at Yorgrim’s arrival.*

“… Oh! Hi, Yorgi… I guess I weren’t fast enough after all.”

*He scratches at his jaw.*

[cptn-briggsy-kratch]

*It takes about half an hour for them to show up.*

"... North Star? Is it ready?"

[ @fallen-shamans-spirit ] { @billythewitchesbane }

*Yorgrim’s head pops in first, so he sees Briggsy quickly and quietly snapping at his own face.*

“Fack— Hm? Oh— Yeah, i-it’s ready! Come in!”

*He’s rubbing at his eyes as he goes to warm up their bowls.*

[cptn-briggsy-kratch]

*First, he hears the sloshing of water, then his husbands make themselves known.*

[ @fallen-shamans-spirit ] { @billythewitchesbane }

*He was just getting ready to pull out his stone when the sound of water settles him. He meets them outside of the tent.*

“Ya made it back… That’s good.”

[cptn-briggsy-kratch]

*Lethica enters the hallow, looking around*

My friends?

@lethica-nightborne @billythewitchesbane

*Briggsy perks up, his head poking out of the tent.*

“… Letty?”

[ @fallen-shamans-spirit ] { @billythewitchesbane }

*Briggsy's husbands return as they'd exited, Will in Yorgrim's arms as he carts him into the Caravan.*

"Hi North Star, we're home."

*Briggsy has curled himself up in the furthest corner of the bed, a Feline Fighters book cracked open in his lap. He looks up from it as they enter.*

“… Hallo, lovies.”

*He glances through the window.*

“Yer home earlier than I thought.”

[cptn-briggsy-kratch]

*It’s quiet, for a while.*

…

*Billy looks over from his spot smothering Yorgrim, eyes a bit vacant.*

“………”

*He offers a hand, trying to get Briggsy’s attention.*

{ @billythewitchesbane } [ @fallen-shamans-spirit ]

*He catches it with his eyes, looking at him expectantly. His hands slow in their hair.*
