The Silence After the Storm

[vrdr_mods]

The Ken Amada who made certain threats, whom Igor didn't bring to the Velvet Room and didn't welcome, has been permanently contained within his other-world self. Many of the Velvet Room residents mobilized in the effort to neutralize the threat he posed, and now, in the moments after the devastating battle that sealed Ken away, perhaps you have business to conclude.

Maybe you're a fighter, left in the rubble the battle made of its surroundings—or maybe you were a noncombatant this time, left behind to wonder what's happening or prepare for the aftermath. Maybe you linger around the battle site, or maybe you have other things to do.

Or maybe you didn't survive. Maybe you're one of the glowing forms slowly coalescing in front of Igor's desk in the Velvet Room over the course of the subsequent half hour. Igor presides over them gravely, with no sign of his usual smile. Near his desk sits a box of snacks, familiar to anyone who's used the operation's training room.

Well, being moved does the trick. Blearily, Ren blinks as he's lifted up, eys a little glazed over with sleep.

"MmmrrrGoro?" he murmurs as he's lowered into the bed, yawning. "Whu...?"

[undyingcrow]

Goro crawls into bed beside him, flashing an all too confident smirk. "Tsk. You lowered your guard, Ren." He wriggles closer, drawing the covers over them. "I suppose I win this round."

Ren pouts a little.

"Mean to me," he mutters, but huddles closer to Goro anyway. "So mean."

[undyingcrow]

"You know you like it." Oh my, he's even... gasp, looping an arm around Ren. Scandalous.

[wicked_plan]

Ren purrs a little, leaning into Goro's embrace. Still, he buries his face into his rival's chest, huffing.

"Shuddup." His arms loosely curl around Goro. "Go sleep."

[undyingcrow]

"You have such a way with words." But it's okay, Ren. Have a little smooch before Goro closes his eyes.

They can sort out the rest of their feelings regarding the fight after some rest.
