[It... definitely takes a while for the weekly after-execution note to arrive, but it does --- kind of scrawly and on ripped paper rather than nice stationery.]

EY. YO. WE GOT EFFIGIES IN THE DINING ROOM AND WE'RE GONNA BURN EM.

FOOD TOO. THE USUAL AND HOT COCOA. GOOD FOR THE SOUL. GET SOME. MAYBE TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR ROOM IF YOU HAVE TO. JUST GET SOME.

[Anyway, in the dining room, there's plenty of mugs set out, with a janky looking arrow sign pointing into the kitchen to where you can get your hot cocoa. On the table, there's Vichyssoise, a pot of green tea, and some booze. There's also a cookie tray on the floor away from the table on which to burn the Wordsmith and Kimbley effigies, which are handily placed near the food on the table.

...also if you go in the kitchen without shoes on just. Watch the northern corner. There's no kidneys, but there's a lot of broken plates there for some reason...]

[They would get a lot closer if they had to shower in there at the same time at least?]

If this is where you're staying, then yeah.

[feistytrader]

I cuddle. I'm probably gonna cry on you.

[foundfate]

Cry away. It's not like clothes can't be washed.

[Anddd done! Silver's hand is wrapped up all nice and stuff with clean bandages. Watanuki has had to bandage his own hands way too many times, so he's actually pretty good at it.]

[feistytrader]

[Silver looks at his hand, flexes it a little, then nods. This will do. He pulls his glove back over his hand immediately.]

...You're like Gold.

[He doesn't give Watanuki much time to process that before dragging him over to bed.]

[foundfate]

[Oh, is it sleep time now? Apparently it is time for sleeping. Or hours of hugging while Silver cries on him, that is entirely possible too.]

What, now? And one of us should probably lock the door.

[feistytrader]

You can do what you'd like. I didn't sleep last night.

[But he heads over to lock the door before he and all the Pokémon pile into the bed; the bed probably wasn't meant to fit this many living things, but who cares.]

[foundfate]

Well it's no wonder that you're tired, then.

[Watanuki isn't sleepy, exactly, and this would probably involve just laying there awkwardly for at least a little while. But, well. Silver pretty much admitted to needing to cry, so.

Watanuki will go ahead and try to crawl into whatever bit of space is left. He can always sneak out for a bit later, after Silver and the pokemon are asleep.]

Geez, is this how you guys sleep every night?

[feistytrader]

More or less. It's not the same without all of them around, though.

[...Damn if that doesn't have multiple meanings. Either way, Silver yanks Watanuki onto the bed a little more, and the Pokémon move to compensate... by laying on Watanuki, really. At least Aibo's cute!]

[foundfate]

[Well, at least he won't be getting cold that night. Though trying to find a way to position his arms that isn't uncomfortable is a feat in of itself. Eventually one ends up under the pillow and the other kind of awkwardly at his side. He's going to have to hug Silver at some point though, he knows it.]

I don't think I've ever shared a bed with anyone before. ...wait no, Mugetsu sneaks in there sometimes. But other than that, yeah, it's always been just me.

[feistytrader]

...Maybe it's strange, but it feels safer, doesn't it?

[And warmer. Definitely warmer. But any warnings about crying that Silver might have had seem to be fading fast; he's too tired to keep it up.]

[foundfate]

I don't think it's strange at all. Of course it feels safer, there's people you trust right here with you.

[And it's warm. Warm = safe, clearly.

Watanuki does notice the lack of tears, but he won't say anything. Silver not crying is definitely a lot better than he expected this to go.]
