[Maybe there was a bar, but Dante didn't write about it because he wasn't into world building. Hell building.]

Yeah, I was freezing before you brought me the jacket. [...] Thanks, by the way. For the jacket.

[HELP

Don't blink, idiot.]
Yeah, and you brought it, but you didn't have to. [Squeezes Ryo's hand?

Accept it, binch.]

[Yeah, he may or may not have realized he missed the depth of the gift giving and acts of service. He just thought that's what friends did. Like, they do, but yeah.

Anyway. He's at least saying thanks.]


Come on. We're almost up this thing.

[He also squints at the statues. Hm. Okay... Weird, but okay.

The moment Ryo cuts off and descends, his muscles tense.]
Ryo! [He strains one arm to hold Ryo up by the hand, using the other one to grab Ryo's opposite shoulder.

There is just so much unbridled panic on his face, the uncertainty of not knowing what is happening, only that Ryo is getting hurt. He goes down part of the way, but struggles to be the one who stays up.]


Ryo, hold on!

[It was probably that shoulder, gomen to Ryo. It was the only thing to grab in the moment.

He wavers at the edge, trying to lean all the way down over the edge without falling in. Ryo's hand he has, he lifts it up and twines it around the back of his neck in his hairline.]


Hold onto me. Don't let go. It's--slippery. Hold on so I can use both hands to get you out.

[Once Ryo has a good hold on him, he lets go, wrapping that arm down around Ryo's middle. And when he has that support on Ryo, he lets go with his other arm to force Ryo's other hand to join around his neck.

Then he wraps both arms about Ryo's middle so he can pull with his back. The fluffier jacket helps? It gives him something to hold.

He pulls so suddenly and with so much force that he flips over backward on the ground and Ryo dumps on top of him.]

[Ryo did this, okay. He fell in the pitfall.

His breath fogs terribly on the air as he exhales his exasperated sigh of relief.]
Don't just say hey like you didn't almost fall into a pit, Ryo! [JESUS.

Gently, his face bunches under the wiping.]


You scared me to death.

[!!

His face grows hotter in Ryo’s chilly hand, causing his deeper skin to flush.]


I wouldn’t let anything happen to you.

[…

He seems a bit more embarrassed by the mistake. He starts to say he’s okay, but then he is given a hand.

He takes it, using it to pull himself up.]


Watch out for holes, Ryo. Let me go first.

[STOP. Don't question it. Just forget...

He goes first hurriedly without hesitation--reaches back to grab Ryo by the hand so they can carefully go around the hole already there. He's wary as he goes along ahead, dodging the new bad places, taking Ryo around them. Until they get inside of the resort.

The inside....]

[Hmm. He stands there still in his own jacket, looking around at what they can see from where they are.]

Yeah. I'm coming.

[WAH.

He focuses and goes along. HE'S COMING. He laces their fingers together. There's a sitting room... He's looking at it.]
