[this is platonic??? this is platonic?????????

Maybe Diarmuid really does solicit hugs from all his friends. It honestly wouldn't be surprising by this point. Don’t overthink.

Laurent drops his hand and leans back against the bedframe, taking deep breaths.]

I meant in general. But as much as I'm curious- is the King’s game still going on?

[oathshackledbird]

[It is perfectly acceptable between friends to give and receive hugs. Touch is a great method of giving and receiving comfort, don't you know!]

As far as I can tell? Yes, it is still very much going on.

[It's one of the reasons he didn't really mind being stuck in a voided house. He couldn't really be expected to follow orders stuck in there, could he? No punishments have come his way anyway, so he's either been really lucky or exempt because of his location. Considering how terrible his luck has always been, he's going to assume the latter instead of the former.]

Then- as interesting as your life sounds- I'm afraid we have more pressing matters to get back to.

[A crown prince doesn't sit around telling tales when there are things to attend to, unfortunately. He is, potentially and unfortunately, still one of the most qualified to attend to things.]

[As much as he wishes to, Diarmuid can't argue that. He's got his fair share of experience and qualifications, but after how his attempts at mucking up the last game went, he's been hesitant to take the lead again.

Well, if nothing else, he guesses everyone going to Tsukudo-cho did eventually bring Laurent here. That's one positive in his book.]

Agreed. Do you have anything specific in mind as a course of action?
