Keep me here? [He averts that sleepy stare to Caesar, all the while nudging at the dog through the bedsheet he has. Kogoro eventually rolls over again, slipping off the couch to sit next to Caesar.]

I thought he'd never move! [And then Albert would be stuck sleeping sitting up. Caesar glances down at the dog before looking back to his brother.] Better lay down before he finds his way back up there. Though I have a feeling he might try to do that anyway.

[chikaidestroyer]

[You don't have to suggest that twice. Albert kicks up his legs onto the couch, but has to readjust the sheet to better cover his legs and chest. His back aches something terrible, his wings twitching as he tries to get one of the throw pillows behind his head.]

Perhaps you should bring him back outside.

Right now? [...sure, Caesar had known that they would be coming back tonight, but he had been too tired to take him outside earlier, and he was definitely too tired to do it now.] It's really late.

[chikaidestroyer]

Just a suggestion. [He stifles another yawn, happy to be lying down again.] He can stay if he behaves. [It's basically an echo of their earlier conversation about Kogoro being in the house.]

It's just for the night. He won't have a chance to misbehave. [Well. Hopefully. Caesar hadn't had too many problems with him, but that was before Albert came back and the dog was just thrilled to see him.] I'll let him out in the morning. I've been working on my project, so I'll be ready to show it to you soon.

[chikaidestroyer]

Your pr-- Ah. [He nods faintly, before realizing something.] It's taken you this long to work on your project?

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Y-you said to take my time, so I did. I finally started putting some of my ideas down on paper.

[chikaidestroyer]

[...] It's been a month, Caesar.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

So just because I haven't done anything with it means I haven't been thinking about it...?

[Because he has been thinking about it.]

[chikaidestroyer]

A month. [He may be tired, but he can still disapprove.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

So sorry, Albert. I had no idea you were in such a hurry to help me carry large objects back and let the dog stay in the house. At least wait until you've rested before you get mad at me, okay?

[chikaidestroyer]

No need. I won't mention it again. [He slides into a more comfortable position, turning over to face the couch.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Good. [Now wasn't really the time for things like that. Even this minor annoyance couldn't make Caesar unhappy to see him, though. He reaches down to pat his brother on the head. He aims to be obnoxious and kind at the same time.] Good night, Albert.

[chikaidestroyer]

[Albert just mutters something inaudibly against the couch, otherwise not moving. But hey, it was hardly a bad homecoming.]
