No class this week. Sorry. Just reread the stuff we've been going over last week.

[Filtered to staff.]

He's gone again.

I have no idea what to even think or feel right now. Why did it even happen in the first place if he was just gonna leave again?

Doesn't seem very fair to me.

But now I've got a kid who just lost his dad for the second time. I don't even know anymore. Why's it seem like being in this castle's nothing but suffering? It almost makes me wanna quit. Homeschool them from now on or something. At least I can count on myself not to screw with shit like this.

I just have a hard time wishing it didn't happen though. It was good while it lasted, I just

I dunno. Whatever.

_{[For a moment, Dirk doesn't respond. He's taking in what Bro said and he's glancing over at Murdoc. So the situation is a little weird, but Bro wants Murdoc there and technically, Murdoc was there first. Who is he to even request he leave? He doesn't particularly mind him being there, either.

Just as long as Murdoc doesn't think him as a baby. This seems to be his constant fear, worrying too much about what people think of him. It can't really be helped though.]}

You don't have to. Uncle Dirk said it was ok.

_{[Stating the obvious, points to Dirk. But it seems like Murdoc might need to hear that. Once he's done speaking, he's crawling up closer to Bro so he can faceplant his chest and cling like a spider monkey.]}

[He feels his stomach twist at Murdoc's words, and he's starting to have an internal panic. He's trying to figure out a way to get Murdoc to stay without making it completely obvious to Dirk that anything's up. But Dirk's words make him feel a little better, a little more hopeful. At least Dirk doesn't want him to leave.

When Dirk moves and clings to him like that, he takes the opportunity to speak again.]

Yeah, man... You can stay.

[He's hoping that Murdoc looks his way again, because he's giving him pretty much the most pleading look he's ever given anyone. Silently trying to convey that he really needs him to. Because god, the thought of Murdoc leaving him is almost enough to make him break down again, but he hides it by wrapping his arms around Dirk, squeezing him tightly. Trying not to shake.]

[He shifts his weight from one foot to the other for a brief moment, quietly taking in the situation and trying to understand his position in it as best he can.

Dirk likes him, right? Having him stay near won't hinder any family bonding time, will it? Maybe if he's just there to keep an eye on them it won't be so bad.

He sighs a little and heaves his shoulders, as if he were intending to go do something terribly important, but it's obviously all for show. He goes back to perching on the end of the bed, watching both of them with a half smile.

He's not easily moved, but he admits to himself that it's an adorable view he has here.]

_{[Now that Dirk's clinging to his uncle and being held, he doesn't really care about anything else. Even if the conversation he had with Bro induced a tantrum rivaling the spoiltest of toddlers, really all he needed was comfort. Now that he has it, he's finally able to relax some. He hasn't forgotten Murdoc is there, but he's too busy sniffling into Bro's shirt and mumbling 'thank you.']}

[It takes a large amount of self control not to breathe a sigh of relief when Murdoc finally moves to sit back down. The relief is, however, apparent in his eyes, which are still staring intently at Murdoc. After a moment though, he shifts his attention to Dirk when he hears the tiny mumble.]

Hey, shhh. It's cool. I'm always here for you.

[Murdoc settles more into the bed, trying not to allow himself to feel awkward about this situation. Which is fairly difficult given that Dirk just walked in on them tangled up together like romantic octopi.

He casts a glance around the room, so it's not as if he's sitting there staring at them before realising Bro is still looking at him and he returns the look with a sheepish smile]

_{[That's a comfort. Dirk's still considerably upset, but he's starting to relax and calm down some. He doesn't say anything else, but there isn't much of a reason for him too. Focusing on his breathing is a bit more important, anyway.]}

[Bro returns Murdoc's smile, before shifting his attention back to Dirk one more time. He moves so that he can lay down, propping himself up on his elbow with Dirk laying next to him. He wraps his arm around Dirk and nuzzles in close. He isn't quite sure what to do now, so he just lets out a small sigh and leans down to press a kiss to the top of Dirk's head.]

It's late, you wanna try sleeping?
