[ isn't entirely there even when the plane comes to a complete stop; the noise ringing in his head is as painful as he remembers it being, making him sway a bit while pressing a hand to his forehead. the world before his eyes seems to double, triple, merge back into one, then double again, while the blueprint-world throbs in noisy emptiness. makes small whimpering noises when they're walking, barely hanging onto consciousness by focusing on that comforting, erratic heartbeat he knows is near.

gropes around for a smaller hand that he knows is around (but can't remember why it would be right this moment) while mumbling absentmindedly under his breath in german, as if he's welcoming himself back home. ]

[ blinks at the cup, taking it again. blinks up at caleb. looks a little confused... then says a bit dumbly: ]

I wash my hands with this.

[ nods, agreeing. ]

Ja, but can drink too! Is clean, is okay!

Really?

[ hesitates before closing his eyes, taking a drink. ]

... ? It's good.

[ beams. ]

Deutschland wasser!

[ takes another drink, looking almost excited by this. ]

[ schools his expression, another thought coming to mind. ]

Guess there's still a lot for me to learn in the world...

[ just grins at him. ]

World is big! Always learn!

Yeah... I mean, I used to hate school. A lot. I never went after-- [ stops himself. shrugs a little. ] Didn't go for a while.

[ fiddles with the glass of water. ]

But uh. Y-you made me want to. Go back, I mean. S-so I'm trying to learn a lot...

[ is silent for a moment, simply gazing at nathan for a moment. then places a gentle hand on a shoulder. leans his head in close to press his lips against the bridge of nathan's nose fondly. the motion seems less smooth than the others, as if he's reciting something from memory. ]

Is good. Learn more, know more. World is big. Is good to open to new information.

[ opens his mouth before closing it, realizing that he doesn't have a verbal reply to that. shuts his eyes instead, slightly thrown off by an urge that settles somewhat uncomfortably in the pit of his stomach. feels his hands shake a little within the thought, making him reach towards the nearest counter to set the glass of water down. repositions himself but moves his head back and away, just enough to cup his hands over caleb's cheeks.

breath hitches a little but he doesn't think twice in fear of losing his courage; tugs caleb's face down and tips his own forward, connecting their lips in a light but firm kiss. doesn't pull away immediately this time, however, instead holding onto what little bravery he has left in favor of allowing himself to get lost in the moment. ]

[ doesn't immediately respond, caught off guard at first. then he eases into the kiss, applying some pressure from his end as well as he brings up his hands to awkwardly cup at nathan's face to deepen their connection. hold their position there for a little while longer, sharing breathing space while he listens to the heavy sound of a familiar heartbeat ringing in his ears. only pulls back when he needs the air. still does not speak, just smiles, moving a thumb gently under nathan's eye. ]

[ has his eyes closed even as they part, as if he's still lost in the fuzzy haze he feels every time there is a physical connection. slowly meets his gaze, face reddening even further. can't look at caleb for too long as he averts his eyes to the side awkwardly, though stubbornly stays in place regardless. ]

[ wanders back downstairs when she thinks she's given them enough time, completely driven by her sudden need for food. struts right into the kitchen... then stops. slaps her hands over her eyes again. ]

Oh, ups! Entschuldigung! My bad! I did it again, haha!

[ thankfully when the sound of her voice hits his ears this time he doesn't scream nor do his usual babbling. instead he sort of just tries to become one with the counter behind him, going completely limp in hopes that he can instantly disappear into it somehow. ]

[ is entirely not bothered by her sudden appearance, his attention drawn away from the moment toward the newcomer. releases nathan carefully to turn toward her, hiding the boy behind him with the majority of his own body as he bounds forward, arms open. ]

Hilda!

Caleb!

[ takes only a few small steps forward to meet him in the middle, giving him a great big hug. peeks over at nathan once before pulling back, patting caleb's shoulders. ]

Are you helping our guest? Good boy! One golden star!

[ clings on as long as she allows, smile bright on his face at her praise. ]

< I am! Nathan wanted a drink, so I brought him here. Do you have anything he could eat? >

< Of course, of course! What does he like? >

< Erm. . . maybe some Home food? He's never tried any before. >

[ nods a bit, removing herself completely from caleb to go peek into the fridge. ]

< Hmm... does he eat a lot? >

< Not really. Just a little bit would be good, I think. >

[ begins to pull out things, instantly knowing what she's going to make. pauses after she puts it on the counter, looking over at nathan. smiles a bit before her gaze goes to caleb. ]

< How about you two go unpack while I cook? I'll wave you down when it's ready, okay? Oh, and I set your book on the bed, too. >

[ nods at everything obediently before he turns to nathan again, reaching for a hand. ]

Hilda cook! So see room? Is nice!
