Hi everyone. So, Will is staying with me for a while. He's been really stressed and sad, after the monster attack and...some friends of his getting sick.

So I want to do something to cheer him up; I'm putting together kind of a last minute party. Nothing too fancy...if you want to come over, we can play some games or just talk. I just want to remind Will that we love him and we're still here!

Let me know if you'd like to come...and don't tell Will about it! I want to surprise him.

I've always been a quick study.

[It's Will's turn to put a hand on his chest--though rather than looking scandalized, he assumes the sort of haughty, preening air Regis is likely well familiar with from nobles he'd had to rub elbows with in the court.]

You can start working on it right away~

[kingkingcxiii]

Wonderful. I'm so glad we are in agreement.

[And with no further warning, Regis sweeps Will into a big hug, going so far as to lift him off his feet and swing him just a little.

Look, he owns him for that TK bridal carry, okay?]

[twistedempathy]

Yeek--!

[It's enough to earn a little squeal of surprise; even so, Will is laughing moments later, arms thrown around Regis' neck and feet coming up behind him to allow the man to do as he pleases. Does it count as payback if he thinks it's funny instead of embarrassing?]

[kingkingcxiii]

[It sure does! Payback is the most fun when both people end up laughing at the end and Regis can't help but join in the laughter once Will starts. He gives him one more swing before finally setting him back on his feet.]

Hopefully that was a good enough hug to put at least a small dent in what I owe.

[twistedempathy]

It's a good start, but don't think you're paid off just yet.

[Will he leverage this debt to get cuddles whenever he pleases? Maaaaaaaybe. If he even bothers to have an excuse, rather than just draping all over him because he feels like it. For now though, he'll just fussily straighten his clothes back out; got to look nice and put together at a party, after all!]

[kingkingcxiii]

Of course not.

[Regis tries to sound exasperated, but his smile gives him away. Go have fun at your party, Will. He promises he will behave. He might even get some rest too! That couch over there looks pretty comfortable...]
