[Jerry shuffles his feet a bit as he leaves the office... He looks worried about doing something as the passes by the living room, but it's hard to tell. He has some things clutched in his arms however.]

Juuust get it over with Jerry...

*Mateo was gently petting Spindle on his lap as he sits on the couch, having just given her a bath. His usual duvet jacket is nowhere to be seen, as he’d taken it off so it didn’t get wet. He looks up as Jerry passes by, waving.*

¡Oyé Jerry! How are you?

————

*Mateo’s head feels fuzzy as he sits on the shower floor with his legs tucked under him. He shakes his head no, ignoring his own need between his legs.*

Hello Mateo! I wanted to-... Mateo..? Are you...

// @trinket-keeper

Lo siento, Jerry…

*Mateo tries to smile, but it doesn’t work, and he tears up again. He’d gotten the tearrots out of his hair, but he still looks rumpled and worn out. He scrubs at his face, sniffling.*

Did you… did you need help?

Such a good boy you are~ My good boy…~

Mandatory?!?

*Mateo giggles as his neck is nuzzled (it’s ticklish, he can’t help it!), snuggling his friend a little tighter.*

I didn’t want to escape anyways, heh. You know I can never say no to snuggles!

[Oh hey it's Jerry!!... with a chicken-]

// @trinket-keeper

Oh hey- where’d you get the chicken from? She’s so cute!

@trinket-keeper & @the-lucky-die

Ay Dios mío… real bats?

*He sighs.*

I’m on my way!
