Leaning in closer as Lilu's eye reopened, Dark surveyed any difference in his health. He remained in the forward position, eager for any news of the incubus' findings. His eyes filled with tears from the statement that they could go there so soon.<br/>"Yes... rest, you should do that. You've earned it," he replied, holding back the tears and smiling brightly. "Sweet dreams." Dark offered Lilu a pat on the back as he stood and returned to the small bed with his husband. The cat-like demon had sprawled out, his mouth gaped wide open as drool oozed slowly from the corner. Before getting in himself, he ensured that his arrows and bow were reachable and that the room's small table was leaning against the door. Stripping down to his cotton underclothes, forming a neat pile of leather gear in the corner, Dark attempted to wiggle his way onto the bed. With very little space to rest his head, he settled for Ryo's chest, once again soothed by his heartbeat and body heat. He kept his eyes on the door until it became a blurry haze and drifted off to sleep.<br/><br/>As morning dawned, Ryo awoke; cradling his partner so not to wake him as he sat up. He surveyed the room briefly as he tried to wake up. Laying Dark down, he slipped from the bed and stretched. With a slow stagger, he headed to the window to check the weather. Ryo gasped; a mob of the inhabitants of the last and this village were gathered around the tavern. He slid away from the window, rushing for his gear and nudging everyone else.<br/>"What is it?" Dark mumbled with a yawn.<br/>"There's an unwelcoming party outside, I think it's for us."
