[ In hindsight, the bathhouse may have been a better option. It would've been wet still, but warm and they could wash and have fresh towels. Ezell wasn't thinking about that, though. He was just focused on somewhere at least a little private and dry. Besides, it's probably for the best they don't have this conversation in the baths, though...

Ezell notices the trash can, at least, so he's real quick to stop Flamebringer and just... hold his hands. ]

I was. And I think... briefly, in the dream we met in, that was reinforced, but... You're a idiot if you think that I haven't noticed how much you care about me? And the way you kissed me just now - of course I trust you to treat me well. If "knowing how you are" is based on everything you've done for me while we're here, then you'll be the best fucking boyfriend?? I've never had someone so concerned about me, or kiss me like if they didn't, I'd be leaving them, or-- or try so hard to make me happy??

You've already been treating me well.
