Across the Vanishing Sky
Raphael put his hand out for Sasuga's once they were on the road, and he didn't let go the whole time they were on the road, it was nearly an hour before they made it to Rupert's house and Raphael reminded her numerous times on the way to behave, that it might not go well, and to check any expectations she might have before they arrived. The driveway appeared to be long and winding, like any of them leading to Shishi's house or the temple in the forest, but this one was fenced off and gated. Raphael rolled his window down as he drove up to a call box, and he pressed a number and waited for a response After a short moment a voice came through. "Leave the car and proceed." The gates opened enough for them to walk through themselves, but not to drive through. Raphael sighed a bit to himself, rolled up the window, and unbuckled. He leaned back over to Sasuga. "Kiss for luck." he said softly and stole gently lingering one from her before he slid from the driver's seat and moved to open her door offering his hand to help her out.
She sighed heavily and tried to not sound annoyed. “You asked me for permission and I said no.” She reminded him again, wanting to move past this topic.
She smiled as she saw him awake and watching something. “Hey there. How was the nap? How are you feeling? Do you need anything?” She rattled off quickly as she pushed the door open farther and stepped inside, her tail motioning for Simon to follow.
