I wouldn't mind yours! I can't really see mine.

[ Although, Mako likes his tattoos, as much as he can for Deerington tattoos.

And it is Mako's sweater, pilfered from the clothes that Mako brought over during the week Wu was gone.

What elephant? Wu isn't acting like there is one at all. He isn't really thinking about the circumstances of his death. He doesn't want to. He just wants to be here with his friend. Wu turns to him with a small smile, patting the couch next to him. If he sits down, Wu will lean against his side with a soft sigh, his eyes falling shut ]

I haven't been this sick in... years! Not since a flu went around Ba Sing Se, and one of the servants must have given it to me. Auntie was so mad, said I shouldn't be having enough contact with servants to get sick.

[Yes please, let's just ignore all that and move forward. Stay in the moment. That's what Raleigh is best at.

He sits and smiles as Wu cuddles in, happy to lend himself as a leaning post. But he can do one better and puts his arm over the back of the couch. More comfortable for the both of them. C'mere. Have a cuddle. Raleigh smells like wood fire, soft vanilla and old books.]

Oh? She sounds like a piece of work. Servants woulda done just about everything for you, right? How could you avoid them?"

[royalfling]

[ Cuddles sound great, and let Wu stop supporting his own weight, which is far too hard right now ]

Ah, yes. She wasn't exactly a reasonable person. But she was the Queen.

[ He sighs and closes his eyes. Then, softly: ]

I'm glad you're here.

[righthemisphere]

[That warms his black, angry heart, Wu, it really does.]

I'm glad to be here.

[And he really means that. It's such a relief to sit with his friend, safe and sound again. Raleigh tries not to think about the circumstances, he really does, but he can't help it. The idea that someone would pick him for fun, for murder, makes the rage hiding just under his skin vibrate. He's beyond pissed off and no amount of cuddles will quell the teeth and claws he plans to sink into Sam Winchester.]
