Staying nights with the Fool was distinctly different than having the Fool staying at Devin's apartment, even if he's been practically living above the cafe by now. Offering his space as a respite had been easy enough; he's hardly attached to the residence in any significant way, and the Fool needed a safe haven. Devin's rules and regulations have been loosened significantly by his time in Konryu. But as days stretch on, he's becoming more and more aware of his spartan living space and how it fails to serve his partner. It had been selected for location and factors that no real estate agent would enumerate in a list of amenities, and while it isn't a squeeze with two people, it lacked the soft touches of comfort his lover favors.

He's been out most days helping with storm recovery, though for shorter time periods than he might if he didn't have someone to return to. Luthien trots to the door, chirping happily up at Devin as he enters. The vampire ruffles her fur, raises his eyes to the Fool and smiles back. For once, strangely, his is a shade warmer than his partner's.

"I hope you haven't been listening to that all day," Devin says gently as he walks into the living room, slinging a duffel bag off his shoulder and setting it on the floor by the Fool's feet. He leans down to press a kiss into the Fool's hair, careful not to unbalance Holly. "Can I tear you away, or would you like to finish the broadcast?"
