"Well, that's what I'm most likenly gonna do," he said with a shrug and a yawn.

She sighed and shook her head. "What am I going to do with you?" The sunlight was already working its magic, replenishing her energy.

"Lemme sleep on your couch…?"

She smiled and shook her head again, amused. "We'd have to go back to Clojiynn then, instead of Isca. I managed to buy my own beach house there."

"Mmmmph." He got to his feet.

A dark creature that seemed to be a cross between a fennec fox and a cat with bat wings appeared on Tessa's shoulders. She smiled at it, scratching its chin. "Hey, Moko. Hows my baby boy doing?" Moko chirruped and dropped a purple gem in Tessa's hand, then disappeared again. "There we go," Tess said, holding up the gem.

"And what is that?"

"Moko or the gem?"

"The gem."

She chucked it and a portal sprung up from where the gem shattered. "A portal gem."

"Ah. To that beach house?"

"MmmmHmm." She grinned at him. "I doubt you want to be bugged by the rest of the Vanguard."

"Are you gonna come, too?"

"Course. But the portal will close when I go through."

He smiled, walking into the portal.

She followed, and the portal closed, just as she said it would. She set the gem on a random table and stood at Runner's side. "Well? Home sweet home."
They stood in a living room with a front row view of the beach, giant windows taking up an entire wall and a glass door leading to a balcony. The room was decorated in typical beach decor. A coffee table squatted over a cream, fuzzy rug right in front of the corner couch, where an equally fuzzy blanket was folded. The entire house was cozy, just like how Tessa liked it.

"Looks very pretty." He blinked a few times, still trying to stay awake.

She led him to the sofa and gently pushed him on it, tossing him the blanket should he want it. "Sleep," she said.

He spread his arms out. "You wanna sleep with me?"

She snickered. "Nice try, but I need to change and get a shower."

"C'mooooooooooooooon.''

She leaned over, bracing her hands against the couch on either side of him, and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "I'll be back in half an hour."

"M'kay." He rolled over on his side and closed his eyes.

She made her way to her bedroom, picking out a large sweater and sweatpants, and hopped in the shower after peeling off her concert clothes. True to her word, she was done within half an hour–her hair was even blow dried.
She went back into the living room, peeking around the bend to see if he was asleep.

He rolled over, his eyes half-open. "See how…dedicated I am…?"
