It was a long climb, and the silence grew around them, only Yuui's footsteps echoing, but he had a soft smile on his face, and he would glance down to Fay every few steps, still not quite believing he was real. He was half afraid he would be snatched away from him again, or that Reed would find them and demand he finish his journey before he was allowed to have Fay back.

He pushed open the door to his room and set Fay down on his bed, grabbing one of the empty sake bottles he'd filled up with water and passing it to him. "Not too much or you'll be sick," he warned, "I'll have to go out to get food....will you be all right?" he asked, looking slightly anxious. He was torn between the need to protect and the need to nurture. He'd only just got him back, but without food he could loose him again quickly.
