It was good to see Sensei smile, even if it did seem like a tired one. They were all tired. Everyone had been through so much in the last six weeks, it was almost like they were having to start everything they'd worked for all over again. Blaze was sure that in the end it would somehow be worth it. The Carrion had a chance at having a decent future, and Blaze trusted Wolf. He could sympathize with the guy's ideals.

Blaze studied Sensei's features. It would be so nice to just crawl in bed with him and sleep for a few days, then start everything over again. He'd not only missed Sensei's physical company but his general companionship. Ever since the St. Patrick's party things had been on the rocks. If that incident had taught him anything it should have taught him the importance of open communication, but somehow he'd become so shut down that six weeks had slipped by them with hardly any kind of exchange. It was almost worse than when they'd been at each other's throats, at least they'd talked more then, even if it had been arguing.

Blaze nodded and looked towards the front door. "Same here. I took a walk to clear my head. I was looking for Nori too..." He bit his bottom lip with a small sigh and looked back to Sensei, "I think we need to talk about some things."

Hazard had tried to reassure Blaze that Sensei still had feelings for him, but Blaze wasn't sure. After all, he hadn't done much to deserve Sensei's sympathy, let alone his love. If anything, he felt that he'd hurt Sensei and let him down. But, he had already made up his mind that he was going to follow Hazard's advice and be honest with Sensei.

"I've really missed you. It's like we don't know each other anymore."
