“See, they’re perfectly harmless,” Ryo stated, snatching the bow from Dark’s hands. Sympathetically, he caressed his partner’s raven hair, which fell down to his shoulders, he draped the hair to one shoulder as he hugged from behind and kissed the bare pale neck. “Not everyone is out to kill you, you know.”<br/>“Just because they look like idiots, doesn’t mean they’re not going to murder us,” Dark scoffed, crossing his arms.<br/>“Now you’re being paranoid.”<br/>“Am not,” he pouted.<br/>Ryo chuckled as he buried his face into Dark's neck. He felt a pang of sadness arise within, he worried that the constant battles had destroyed his lover's ability to trust. Hugging him tighter, Ryo decided to resolve the issue. He went to his bag and pulled out their spare water container.<br/>"I'll prove it to you," he declared with a wink. Undeterred, Ryo approached Lilu and Scyler; as he did, he noticed the pink glow emitting from Lilu's hands. His pace increased as his lips parted into a gleaming smile. "Hey. You alright? I got some water if you need it."<br/>Dark stayed with their belongings; his eyes locked on Ryo. His heart raced and whole body tensed. He prayed he wouldn't have to tell his husband's corpse: 'I told you so'.
