Dealing with the newest shit show that has become their lives and this investigation and a few briefs stolen moments to themselves.
One the one hand it was almost a relief that the Malkavian was leaving. Amadeus had been trying to downplay her role in things for a while now so that no one would think to look her way. If the information she had found was right though, continuing to dig the way that she did was only going to draw attention to herself sooner or later. If the wrong alt was in control at the time it could spell for disaster.
It was bad enough that they were staying in the city if there really was this new danger on the rise. It was almost enough to make him want to get Ariel out of the city now instead of later but Amadeus also knew that he had to see this through before he himself left. He had done made the mistake so very long ago of deciding for a lover what was best for them—safest for them—without giving them the option to face things head-on at his side. He had lost so much because of that. Had regretted it for so long.
Amadeus knew if he did the same thing with Ariel he'd more than regret it. He knew it would gut him in a whole new way. He hadn't imagined he could love someone again—let alone this much. Loving Ariel was that little spark of humanity that he had thought lost and left drowning in the dark.
He was sitting on the couch and lost in his thoughts of the lover in question when he heard the door open and looked that way, snapping out of them and unable to help but smile as he looked at Ariel. "Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes." They were stretched too thin right now trying to make up for the lack of Leo and now Kjell all while dealing with a city that was trying to tear itself apart.
