[hm.... hm... okay.

England peeks around the corner, carrying a bag and holding it to his chest. what's inside the bag? more books for Merlin, about woman's bodies. how to please women. yeah, when England says he's going to do something, he's going to do it.

the thing was, is this is so freaking embarrassing. first he went to the library, but when they only offered books about reproduction, England knew he had to check more places. he finally found what he was looking for at an adult bookstore. but both times, he'd had to take these books up to counters, and have robots or aliens ring him up. and even though he's pretty sure the robots or aliens don't care, he's still... embarrassed!

now he has to make it out of the pleasure district without being seen. so he's hunkered against walls, darting in and out of alleys, avoiding the main streets. this is stupid. no one can see what is in the bag, because it's cloth, and yet he's still worried. but he should almost be to the edge of the district by now. then he can just hop a train back home. aaaa this is so nerve-racking!]

[Chibi tries a moment to think of what Yugo, so young (and so short!), might have grown to look like before the world ended. A bit taller, perhaps, standing better with the poise a king should have; hopefully not too worried about minor things, hopefully not too stressed, hopefully with the same sense of humor and tendency towards pranks he's always had.]

[Oh, Goddess, he misses him. He misses Grougal, too, so much it tears him apart sometimes.]

I... Think I am going to go to the church and pray a bit before I settle back home. [Home. Such a weird word for a place he knows is not his... But it has become his, too.] Would you like me to walk you home?

[Playfully:] Or shall we go shopping around here?

[unionjackoff]

[shopping? here! England grimaces a bit, but not in anger] I've finished my shopping for the day. But. I would not be opposed to walking home with you.

[manolia]

I was teasing, you know. [Geez!!]

Onward home, then. [Church can wait; there is something itself calming about England's fingers laced between his - such a small show of affection, and yet so large compared to what he had back home. He forgets, sometimes, that love is not a secret here. He and Mina had to be secret, and he knows why, but he never stopped hating that.]

[He'll pray for Mina when he gets into the church, that she is safely at rest in her Dofus after the world's end, that she does not resent him for finding love after his death. He'll pray for Yugo and Adamai, that they will shepherd the Eliatrope people as Chibi had wanted. He'll pray for Grougal, that they'll be together soon, and that if he ever meets England he won't bite the man's head off.]

[But for now, he'll walk England home, and talk about little things - and this once, maybe he'll take the long way around.]
