"I don't like what it's done to you."

"...Mmm?"

"That thing we found, Gremory?"

"Mmmm.."

Entwined fingers and limbs rested together for a few more fleeting moments more. That is until one of the figures pulls away, leaving a warm embrace to swing long, pale legs over the edge of a simple bed frame. "I didn't mean it like that Florian." The words made an eyebrow twitch, raising as the taller, blonde of the pair turned. Red eyes glancing over a bare shoulder at the sprawled form of Ilkka Hagman. "If you say so." Florian shifted, slowly placing slender feet on the ground and standing up, wobbly for a moment before a long groan was expelled softly before Florian's red nailed fingers pulled a thin rob off the top of the headboard. "Showering, then going to Gremory." The words, coupled with the body language coming off Florian made Ilkka frown, he knew Florian was mad at him for saying that.

He had been thinking it for a while, and for once Ilkka didn't bite his tongue. Instead, he moved to climb off the bed, going to pick up a book he found within that vault that deeply disturbed him. It called Gremory a demon, and even showed a seal for the creature. Ilkka once asked Florian about it once, and got nothing in return save for a dirty look and an raised eyebrow. At first he saw Florian didn't want to fight, and was happy to talk about the dream of going to earth. As far as he knew, the dream was still something they wanted, but Florian almost seemed eager and willing to engage in a fight these days.

Jesus, he should apologize. At least that's the small voice in the back of Ilkka's head told him as he went slowly to the door of the bathroom and knocked twice. After he entered, he saw Florian shift. Red eyes peering at him before the blonde reached a hand out from the running water. "There isn't enough hot water for a second shower." Sliding his fingers around Florian, Ilkka sighed at the mixture of dry flesh against wet before he stepped into the water, which was too hot for him. Oh well, whatever as he saw Florian turn and pull on his hand to bring it over a shoulder, "We good? Still want me to go to earth with you?"

"You worry too much, sweet, silly Ilkka. Nothing has changed, not for you and I."
