No problem. Now--
[Excuse Prompto as he goes on a full "here's the best way to eat fries and onion rings" speech because he's a dork.]
--and of course you can just eat them plain, but why would you?

[ She listens avidly to his entire speech, because she had no idea that eating these fries was such serious business.
...And also because he was still adorable when he got really excited about things. ]
So what is your favorite way, then? [ she teases him after his final emphatic statement. ]

[ Wherever he is, he might feel the immediate delight rush through their Bond at getting a message from him. ]
Cu! How are you feeling? Where are you?
I missed you, too.
[ That last line is typed out with a soft surge of affection he might pick up on as well. ]

[ That's cute... ]
Still at the Coven's infirmary. One last check-up before they let me go.
Unless they find something they don't like. Then they won't let me go.
[ The tone isn't conveyed well through text, but his mood is light, and the amusement might also carry across the Bond ]

[ She feels it, and it makes her smile when his words might have otherwise worried her.
Sending a teasing feeling back at him, she replies. ]
Do I need to start staging a breakout?

Every sauce on the menu, or whatever fancy house sauce they have for the onions!
[He grins, grabbing a fry and dipping it in one of the various sauces he'd grabbed.]
Dig in!

Dig in!
Every sauce at once? [ She's not sure whether to be horrified or amused. ] How can you even taste anything if you do that?
[ She can't help but laugh at his response. She's really has missed him. ]
I will do exactly that. But I'll take a rain check on dinner because I suspect that even if they ARE releasing you today, you're still meant to take it easy.
[ Besides. She suspects Archer will be channelling all his fussing into cooking and baking over the next several days, anyway. ]
Would you like me to come meet you at the infirmary? Just to make sure you can escape to freedom?

[ She laughs then, reaching out to try some of the sauce nearest to her on one of the fries. ]
So you don't have a favorite?
So you don't have a favorite?
I'll be there shortly.
[ And true to her word, she is, arriving outside the Coven's infirmary in a silvery cape pulled tight to ward off the lingering winter chill. her hands tucked beneath it, she glances around to see if he's come out yet - or if she really will have to break in to free him. ]

Not here. There was a place in Insomnia that had spicy ranch--that's my favorite.
[ Fortunately (?), there's no need for intervention. Yona doesn't get to wait long before Cú leaves the infirmary on his own. Turns out his claims of being in danger of being held out have been grossly overestimated!
But he doesn't look all that well when he leaves. Paler, thinner, drained— the spark lights in his eyes on the moment he notices Yona though. One, two, three, and there he is, looming over her as if he was going to take her into a hug but— he stops himself at the last moment and offers a gentle squeeze on her shoulder instead. ]
You're a sight for sore eyes!

Spicy... ranch?
[ What strange names things in his homeworld had. ]
Oh, but there's regular ranch here, though, right? [ She glances down at the assembled sauces he'd brought along, trying to remember which one that had been. ] Couldn't you just make it spicy?

[ Her own eyes light up at the sight of him, but a moment later there's a deep rush of concern as she sees the state he's in, her heart pinching with worry as she turns towards him. She feels that touch to her shoulder and holds herself back from flinging herself at him - if only because she doesn't know if he's still in pain anywhere and doesn't want to make that worse. ]
Oh, Cu...
[ She blinks quickly, her eyes stinging for a moment before she just... steps close enough that she can lean forward to press just her forehead against his chest, feeling the warmth and solid presence of him and taking that as reassurance. ]
I've missed you.

Nah, it's not the same if the spices aren't in there when they're making it. It's like trying to add salt to something after it's cooked--you can, sure, but it'll still taste different than if you had it from the start.
Oh, hmm. I guess you have a point. [ That's more Yoon's specialty than hers. She's definitely the sort to have to add salt afterwards. ]
I wonder if it's very hard to make from scratch, then? So you can add the spices when you need to?

I know back home they sell, y'know, packets of ranch flavoring you add mayo too to make homemade ranch? But I don't know the spices that go into that.
[ There's a moment of hesitation, a hint of worry— but they wouldn't let him out if he was still carrying the danger of Cwyld, and so he gives in. Putting his arms around her and clutching her close, settling into the relief of seeing (and feeling across the Bond) each other again... ]
It's been rough month— but here we are, reunited again.

[ When she feels his arms wrap around her, she pauses for a moment, but then she's wrapping just as tightly around him, arms wound about his waist as she tips her head back to peer up at him again. ]
I wish I could have done more to help.

[ Oh, that cuts— it's not your fault, my princess, nor your responsibility. But having close ones hurt is tough to stomach.
He is grateful for the concern and focuses on letting that feeling flow ]
I was under good care— sorry for keeping you wait so long.

[ She gives him a teary smile, but rubs at her stinging eyes with a hand for a moment. ]
I know you were. I'm grateful for it. I was just worried for you.
[ The effects she had seen that night when facing the cult had been terrible in entirely new ways. Familiar faces caught between varying levels of sickness, losing themselves to the Cwyld. That he'd fallen ill so soon after...
But she just gives him another squeeze, trying instead to focus on the part that he was healed and out, if still looking a little worse for wear. ]
Don't be sorry. I'm glad you're here now. Shall we go home?
