Ollie and Faulkner return home after the wedding.

[We pick up right where we left off post-wedding. Ollie and Faulkner traveling through the Nether together on their way home. Ollie is drunk off his ass, and Faulkner just wants to get home.]

[22:12:31] <✦Faulkner [rp]> Didn't you have a wedding Ollie? I think I heard Ceph say something about that..

[Ollie nods a lot, swinging Faulkner’s hand back and forth in the air.]

[Ollie says boom a little too loud, and Faulkner flicks his ears back. He giggles a little and quiets down.]

[Faulkner nods at Ollie.]

[He looks around, making sure no one followed them.]

[22:18:07] <✦Faulkner [rp]> even if I still dont really get the significance of what one is

[Faulkner nods at the ground as Ollie continues to swing his arm.]

[22:20:41] <✦Faulkner [rp]> though if its forever then

[22:20:46] <✦Faulkner [rp]> where is he?

[Faulkner looks up at Ollie from the side. Immediately it realizes it said the wrong thing, because Ollie stops swinging its arm. Ollie goes silent, he presses his lips together, and leans his head forward. His grip on Faulkner’s hand tightens.]

[22:21:46] <✦[rp] Ollie> umm ....w-well

[22:21:51] <✦[rp] Ollie> hhes not here..

[22:22:36] <✦[rp] Ollie> ggone

[Ollie slowly lets go of Faulkner’s hand. Faulkner slows, and while Ollie wraps his arms around himself. Faulkner sits at their side. Ollie won’t look at them.]

[22:22:43] <✦Faulkner [rp]> oh

[22:22:52] <✦Faulkner [rp]> I'm sorry to hear that

[Faulkner tucks their hands together over their stomach.]

[22:23:01] <✦Faulkner [rp]> we don't have to talk about him anymore

[22:23:04] <✦[rp] Ollie> yyeah

[22:23:07] <✦Faulkner [rp]> if you don't want to

[22:23:19] <✦[rp] Ollie> thanks for being liike, one of the onlyy people to say thatt

[Ollie leans forward, his hair falling in front of his face. He rubs his eyes a bit behind the curtain of hair where he hopes Faulkner can’t see. Faulkner just nods, head straight forward.]

[22:23:37] <✦[rp] Ollie> llets just head home

[The two exit their Nether portal and return to their cozy home. Inside, Faulkner crawls onto the couch, slouching into it. They hiss slightly at the pain, though they managed to get through the portal in time to save their and Ollie’s lives, they did take a brunt of the damage.] 

[22:24:43] <✦Faulkner [rp]> ohh everything hurts

[Ollie takes the flower out of their hair, and sets it on a table.]

[22:25:16] <✦[rp] Ollie> ppfft, ii dont reallly feel muchh of anything right now luckilyy

[22:25:32] <✦Faulkner [rp]> yes thats good

[Ollie gets cozy on the couch next to Faulkner.]

[22:25:42] <✦[rp] Ollie gets cozy on the couch :3

[22:25:50] <✦Faulkner [rp]> I think I did a good job taking most of that second explosion for you

[They scratch their face. There are bits of dark fur and scales that weren’t there before. Even more on their arms and under their armor as they slip it off.]

[22:26:28] <✦[rp] Ollie> ohh uu didntt have to do that

[22:26:34] <✦[rp] Ollie> i would havve been fineeeeeeeeee

[22:27:26] <✦Faulkner [rp]> I had armor on anyways

[22:27:39] <✦Faulkner [rp]> It mostly helped

[Ollie lays their head on Faulkner’s shoulder. Faulkner sits up a little, they try to let themself relax.]

[22:27:59] <✦Faulkner [rp]> ooh

[Ollie sighs, getting comfortable in the crook of Faulkner’s body.]

[Ollie grabs around its shoulders, and presses their head into the crook of Faulkner’s neck. Faulkner is warm, and it feels nice.]

[Faulkner leaps from their lounging on the couch to grab Ollie by the shoulders.]

[Faulkner realizes how tightly they’ve gripped Ollie, their claws digging in…they let go. It looks at the floor.]

[22:37:42] <✦Faulkner [rp]> also I think the peace treaty is kind of... over

[Ollie blinks.]

[Ollie yawns as well, and nods.]

[The rumble of purring on Faulkner’s chest grows a bit louder.]

[22:43:32] <✦Faulkner [rp]> that'll make it easier for you

[Ollie snuggles up to Faulkner. The fur and extra scales on Faulkner begin to fade.]
