thexfactor | [IC] Day 37, very late evening

[he doesn't ask who it is, this time. he just opens the door.

he's washed and changed clothes, like ~nothing ever happened~.]

[ likewise, except Charles' shoulders are hunched and he's rubbing his head a bit ]

Ah. Hello. I hope I'm not interrupting anything or . . .

No, they're asleep.

...wait here a moment.

All right.

[heads back inside to the kitchen, before coming back with a bag. it's clinking a bit.

puts his free hand on Charles's shoulder and turns him around, back out the door.]

Come with me.

[ blinks ]

Where are we going?

Outside.

Are you sure? You shouldn't be away from them, should you?

I told them I'd go out later. Besides, by that logic you shouldn't be out either.

[ shrugs, uncomfortable ]

I talked to them for a while but it was just . . .

[ everything was bleeding all over and I couldn't tell where it stopped or began, who I was, who I was meant to be ]

That's why we're going outside.

[ . . . nods ]

[walking them to the courtyard, then]
