>Sollux: Return home

[a1a100]

642 Hastings Boulevard

[Early in the morning, about 4 in the morning of the 15th, Sollux quietly walks into his house, closing the door behind him slowly. He hopes that returning home at 4 in the morning means that no one is awake and he can sneek in without getting caught...]

Phone, later in the day

I'm sure some of you noticed that I've been gone for a couple of days but I'm back now. I had some business to take care of and you don't need to know about it so don't ask.

Suddenly action

[There no reply but a click. A few minutes later there's some quick knocking.]

[He sighs and after a few minutes, he opens the door.]

[And suddenly you're being hugged by a rather shivering and cold Aradia. She seems to have haphazardly put on a coat and other garments over her clothes to keep herself warm and ran all the way here.]

This is where I wag my finger at you angrily and you learn your lesson.

1/2!

[Suddenly hugs!]

2/2!

[a1a1000.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry.

[She let's go after a minute or two...to wag her finger at you.]

You better not do that again or I'll go looking for you. So this is where you learn your lesson, alright?

Stupid. [And a smooch on the cheek.]

[He looks down to the ground and stays silent for a moment.]

I would have told you where I was going but I knew you would have stopped me.

That's because it's a pretty stupid idea you know. I've gone through enough timelines to know when things are just really stupid.

What were you planning on accomplishing?

[He's looking to the side now to refrain from any eye-contact even though he's blind and technically can't have eye-contact]

I'm not allowed to say but I'll tell you that it was beneficial to you guys and you'll appreciate it later.

I trust you. But you have to promise not to scare us all like that next time. I guess leaving a note or something wouldn't really be a good idea. [It's not like he can just leave a 'hey I'm with the Condesce!' note.]

[a1a1000.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would end up badly. I'd be over there for an hour before everyone is barging in and we all engage in battle.

[He sighs]

I'm sorry, I really don't like lying to you and I don't like hiding shit from you either. I wish I could tell you everything but I don't want to chance anything.

It's okay Sollux. But you have to stay safe. We're stronger in numbers and she isn't highly armed like she used to be.
