Sláine caught himself in the mirror as he pulled on the last of his clothes and pulled a face. His hair was still a mess, and they didn't have enough time for him to painstakingly brush it out. "Fuck it," he muttered, and grabbed his hair to twist it into the messiest bun ever. It wasn't pretty, but it would hold, and he didn't really care at that point. The last thing he did was reapply the mask, and in seconds, he was just a normal pretty boy—no horns or sharp teeth to be seen. It was still surreal to look at himself and not see those things, even when knowing they had grown in and he didn't have them his entire life.
Shaking his head, the prince gathered his clothes and shoved them into his bag. "Yeah I'm ready. Wait, actually, no," he quickly backtracked. Sláine grabbed his bag and walked over to Eurion, wanting to touch but knowing he can't, not when the assassin wasn't making an excuse to do so. Eurion had a lot more willpower when it came to them than the prince did, it would seem. But Sláine only scanned the man's face, getting his fill of seeing the other like this because it wouldn't happen again until the next time they were alone.
With a soft touch to the other's cheek—because, again, willpower—Sláine sighed. "Yeah, okay, now I'm ready. I'm going to miss you." Even though they were going to be just a few feet apart, and still talking, they wouldn't be them. It wouldn't be the same as right now, or during the night. They'd be different people that hadn't plummeted into each other's lives with deep affection. But as much as it pained Sláine to not touch Eurion even more, he pulled away and resisted the urge to do anything else. They had to go, had to pretend the assassin hadn't just turned the prince into a mess beneath him just minutes ago, and play that song and dance until nightfall once more. Caoimhe would only wait so long for them, and they had already pushed their luck.
Sláine tilted his head towards the door while mentally seeking out Solise. From the familiar auras near her, she was being entertained by his brother and Aideen, so she had time to hide from Eurion's sight when they left. "Let's go before I kiss you."
