The door opens, and two tired-looking young adults drag themselves into the Milliways. It's been a long, hard couple of days and right now all Dani and Enzo want is a change of scenery and some food that's not candy.

Dani doesn't even notice that they haven't been given costumes this year until they've plopped down at a table.

Comments

"Me too." She pauses to take another bite of salad. "Caramel, too."

"Never thought I'd be sick of chocolate." It feels like sacrilege.

As does: "Thank goodness for that one house handing out toothbrushes."

"You can always count on Dr. Muller to be as tooth-conscious as possible, especially on Halloween," Dani says.

[a1enzo]

"Well, it's probably 'cause of him we still have any, so I guess it paid off."

[ami_imperfect]

"Think we ought to thank him?" Dani wonders.

[a1enzo]

"Yeah... but discreetly, or the kids in your neighbourhood might turn on us."

She says, tongue-in-cheek: "Maybe a fruit bouquet?"

[a1enzo]

"'From our mouths to yours.'" Beat. "Ew. I really need some sleep."

[ami_imperfect]

"That makes two of us." Beat. "I wonder if my old room here is still available?"

[a1enzo]

"Probably. I hope so. Salad, then sleep. I just hope I don't dream of skeletons."

[ami_imperfect]

"You and me both."

[a1enzo]

He strokes her hair. "Well, if we do, we can fight them off together. ...which would be a lot more romantic if we hadn't just... yeah. Sorry."

[ami_imperfect]

"It's okay; I know what you meant." She gives him a small smile.

[a1enzo]

He smiles back and fills his mouth with salad, since it seems to be working properly for that.

Food, and sleep and cuddles, and in the morning he should have a functional brain again. It is enough.
