A little selfish of me to be presumptuous, don't you think? [Reborn laughs and reaches his fingers up to brush back down through Hanatarou's dark hair, almost petting him.]
Always nice when that happens. [Reborn says in a light, amused tone, but it seems he is hesitating about taking a step back now that the obligation has been discharged.]
[ hanatarou smiles up with a great deal of pleasantness, oblivious to any particular hesitation! ...ah, but he does notice that his arms are still in a rather overtly affectionate position. ]
Mm... I'll stay here a little while, then... maybe...
[ he leans forward to rest his head against reborn's chest. now it's just your everyday embrace, more or less... and in this cold weather, it feels nice and warm! ]
[Reborn makes no protest, even wrapping another arm around Hanatarou's slighter, thinner shoulders. Without moving from their positioning, he murmurs:]
That's true. Though our standard practice back home was to work in mobile medical teams rather than be escorted as such... I was solely accompanying an offensive warrior right before I got here, but that didn't turn out so well.
Ah! You mean the time I got taken hostage! [ ...he looks a little too happy about that ]
Well, the actual hostage-taking part didn't work out the way they'd intended. But I actually think everything ended up turning out really well afterward!
Well, some of the same people were involved. But the person I was accompanying as medical support isn't one of the two who had taken me hostage. Though you could say that our relationship was a bit strained, since he'd tried to kill all three of us during that earlier incident... [ they're just about there! ]
No, I think they were mostly pretty normal. Well, people would tend to make various threats from time to time, but that was one of only two times I can think of when someone was actually going to to kill me.

May I escort you home, Yamamda-san?

It doesn't really seem to matter.]
Shall we go then?
no subject
[ when a person is escorting you, it is customary to take that person's arm. hanatarou complies with this custom. ]
no subject
Do you often get escorted to places, Yamada-san?
no subject
It depends on exactly what you're asking, I suppose.
...
No, I think the answer is probably "from time to time" either way.
