[About twenty minutes later, Rome is dragging the chocobo out around the back to the skinning station he'd set up months ago, before wiping his hands clean and moving in the house.]

-Morgan?

[danseur]

[ Rome has just brought in a dead chocobo. Morgan, on the other hand, actually looks like he's tried to clean up. His hair is a little damp, at least. ]

Hey.

[leashed]

[Rome makes a small sound before looking up at him- he can smell the dampness on him, and is a little warmed by the effort.]

How are you?

[danseur]

[ He smiles a little lopsidedly at that. ]

'Bout the same I was about half an hour ago. Can I help with anything?

[leashed]

There's not much to do.

[Well- aside from plucking a giant bird.]

Can I talk to you?

[danseur]

.. yeah. That's why I came out here.

[leashed]

[Rome pauses a moment, before moving to get a bag so he can start plucking out the feathers. It's easier like this, when he has something to do with his hands to keep him distracted from what he's saying.]

You'll have to forgive me if I'm still a little surprised. This came very suddenly.

[danseur]

[ He sort of wants to ask him to stop, to wash his hands and come inside with him. Instead, he just stands there a little awkwardly. ]

Which part?

[leashed]

All of it, I suppose.

[He clears his throat.]

I don't know if you remember, but you- you said you loved me during the repressed event.

[danseur]

.. yeah, I remember. Why?

[ He's staring off at the distance. ]

[leashed]

I knew.

[His eyes lower a little, and he moves to start to work.]

I knew that you felt it- I just wanted to wait until you were comfortable enough to admit it to me when you were yourself again. Does that make sense?
