Jay takes Emcee's hand and leads him deeper into the forest. Sure-footed in the darkness, Jay leads him to the glade where he trains. It's private, comfortable and the grass is soft. He sheds his jacket and pulls Emcee close, kissing him slow and deep.

He rolls his eyes with a chuckle, also shaking his head in turn.

"I'm not in the mood to risk it. I couldn't bear spending a night in solitary confinement after this."

Sitting up, he sighs and idly passes his fingers through Jay's hair, before reaching for his clothes and pulling on his shirt.

He's buttoning up his fly when Jay suddenly drops to the ground.

All instincts tell him to stay still but he turns around, squinting toward the dark edges of the clearing, bewildered as to what Jay could possibly see out there. And it's then that he notices the red glowing dots in shadows.

"What the fuck is that?"

"Demon rabbit...?"

Before he can even comprehend it, the red eyes dart forward through the darkness, and he takes a few quick steps backwards behind Jay. He can barely see anything but the flash of moonlight on a blade, and then hears a vicious squeal.

"Scheiße."

When Jay returns, the Emcee is holding his one boot.

"I wouldn't have thought such a creature would have a habit of stealing footwear," he remarks wryly.

"Oh, a rabbit with a grudge, is it? Interesting," he snorts, amused despite the strange incident.

He murmurs a thank you for the boot and he drops both of them to the ground, stepping into them one at a time.

"How on earth did you hit it with the knife in almost complete darkness?"

"Mm. Quite impressive, darling. You continue to surprise me."

He picks his coat up off the ground and slings it over his shoulder. As he runs his fingers through his hair, he looks up at the sky, then sweeps his gaze around the clearing one last time.

"Shall we go? Hopefully he won't bring his little friends around on the way back."

"Scare me?"

He slides his free hand into his and squeezes warmly.

"Darling, if by that you mean excite me, then perhaps so, but I have come across people in my life who were far more frightening than you, at home and here, so please don't worry yourself about it."

And he returns the kiss.

And even though the phrase people I care about makes his eyelids flicker, he knows Jay always means well.

"You won't hurt me, darling," he reassures him. "I know you won't."

The porch lights are like a beacon in the strange wilderness that is Milliways, at least, the parts of it that are still unfamiliar to the Emcee. A whole new part of it has been opened up to him tonight. And although it might not be one to return to without trusted accompaniment, at least now he knows that it exists.

At the back door, he slips his hand from Jay's and reaches up to touch his face.

"Thank you, Jay, darling. I had a marvelous evening," he says in earnest. "I think I may stay out here for a little while longer, though. I have such a craving for a cigarette right now," he adds with a light chuckle.

"Of course, darling."

As Jay leaves, there is a split second where the Emcee considers following him. But the door closes, and the thought dissipates. Alone again, he ambles over to the porch railing, nimbly perches upon it, and lights up a cigarette.

Ending the night as he began it.



[OOC: Thank you <3 I can certainly post it.]
