Evening of the First Night--- for heirtothearcane and westfallcorndog

Steve is much more careful in the way he eats than Harrow was, mostly because Viatorus' clothes are very nice and he doesn't want to make a mess of them. The soup is as good as it smelled, and Steve is glad Harrow liked it. Having working taste buds again must be weird for him.

When he's finished, he looks between Harrow and Viatorus carefully. They have a point. It has gotten rather late since all of this started. Between the panic and the running around, Steve hadn't really noticed it. But it was already dark when he'd gone to get the udon.

"What would you prefer I do?" He asks Viatorus quietly. "If it were my body, I'd grab a shower and get to bed, but...is that allowed? Would you rather I didn't?" To Harrow, Steve nods.

"You don't get a choice in the matter with all the soup. You need to give my body at least a wash." He's laughing while he talks though, so it's clear Steve isn't upset.

"There's a difference between sleeping because you can, and sleeping because you have to. When you sleep because you're exhausted, you don't have as much control... It... It doesn't matter." He stands up and moves to the kitchen. "I'll make you both some tea. Anyone can drink it if they can drink tea."

"I'll have some sure." Steve replies, feeling guilty for everything that's transpired here up until now. "I'm probably not getting back to sleep anytime soon unless this body really craves sleep. I've got too much on my mind."

He supposes he can find a quiet corner and read some more books off of his phone. Electronic readers are pretty neat that way. Though after this fiasco he's certain Viatorus will insist he do his reading in that bed, too. It was comfortable, but...well. No more buts.

That's what got them into this mess.

Things feel so tense suddenly. Harrow tries to smile for Steve, but he knows it can't be easy. Letting someone down, even if you didn't mean to, can be hard to bounce back from.

"We'll all just stay in together for the night, how 'bout that? No accidents that way. We can just chat. Chill. Drink some tea and sleep, and in the morning... In the morning we'll all be ourselves, or we'll get to see London on Earth, and it'll be good."

"I have books if you want them. Or things for sketching. Make yourselves comfortable and I'll bring out the tea in a minute." He's going to get them some biscuits out too. Really, it's the least he can do for worrying them like that.
