No! But now I am! Oh man, oh, God! That would be awkward!
[ Internal panic is a go! ]

Ren definitely isn't going to complain about hugs. For all this fairyland seems to be about being physical with people, there flat out hasn't been enough physical affection for her needs. "I will. I promise." Ren assured him. And to Ren, promises were more than sacrasanct.
Hey Corb uh, y'seen Caleb around?
[He's fine he's casual he's not worried.]

[Yeah Harry's noticed Caleb's absence but he's been sitting with the worry for a few days.]
Are yeh sure? Does stuff go when people do?
[Maybe he's a little scared.]

[Maybe he's a little scared.]
Hah, aye, there's that. [Nott at least would probably be real loud about Caleb being gone.]
Ah'right.
D'you wanna...do something?
Ah'right.
D'you wanna...do something?
Oh, several. [There's a familiar saucy tone in Harry's voice but it's...lacking something. The heart, maybe.]
...Dunno. Maybe we could just hang for a bit, or something? [If he's gotta he'll outright say he doesn't want to be alone.]

Corbin would agree on that point, and if asked, would be more than happy with more hugs, from Ren or any of the people he's friends with. Hugs are great, okay?
"Good." He gives her one last squeeze and then lets go, nodding his head towards the door. "Go on, I gotta get some sleep some time." But he smiles when he says it and there's no malice or even annoyance to the words, though he does yawn widely directly after.
"Shit, 'scuse me." He really was tired.

Do you wanna get out of your room for a bit?
[Cuz otherwise Harry's fine just coming over and catting on Corbin's bed.]
Not sure I've seen the roof yet.

Not sure I've seen the roof yet.
I mean unless you're gonna fly me up there. [Haha and Corbin can't do that right]
I'll come get yeh, yeh can show me how to get there.
I'll come get yeh, yeh can show me how to get there.
[Well he can't turn into a cat on his own, he's not gonna say out loud.]
[There'll be a knock on Corbin's door after not too long. Harry's not wearing his usual layers of leather and torn shirts today, it's just a shirt and a jacket.]

Corbin has managed to put on some of his comfy pants and a shirt by the time Harry shows up, he's barefoot and he gives Harry a bit of a smile, but it's not his usual bright grin.
"Hey Harry." He has a small sack with a distinctive book shaped lump in it over his shoulder. The room behind him is even more of a mess than usual, the pillows and blanket "nest" of his bed looks a bit like he hasn't left it very much. "Come on." He'll grab Harry's hand and close the door behind him, heading off down the hallway.

Harry lets Corbin grab his hand and lets him lead him down the hallway. "Hey."
He's got no room to talk about a messy room, but in Harry's case it's hard to tell the difference between normal-messy and depression-messy. Corbin's might be the second.
"What's so great about the roof, anyway?" As long as they're holding hands, Harry tries to slip his fingers between Corbin's, lacing them together.

They're just not going to talk about the room, it's fine, he's just... worried. Yeah, they'll go with worried. He'll clean it up soon.
"Well, I always like how it's higher up. You get a nice view of the sky, it's good if you wanna just be alone for a bit and not be inside. I just like it." Corbin's fine with lacing their fingers together, he likes the contact.
He takes a couple of seemingly random turns then heads up some stairs. He doesn't know how much exploring of the castle Harry has done, but Corbin made a point of getting lost several times when he first got here, because he figured that was the best way to get the layout of the place.

Worried, yeah. So's Harry.
He gives Corbin's fingers a loose squeeze, but he won't talk about it. Just bros holding hands. Bros lacing fingers.
Harry's done his share of exploring, trying to get a feel for how the castle works and maybe looking for ways to sneak in and out of places (and people's rooms). "I guess yeh got a different relationship with the sky when yeh got wings."

Bros getting comfort from mutually beneficial contact and caring. Just good bro things.
Corbin thinks about it for a second and then shrugs. "I ain't sure, I think folks without wings like the sky too, or we wouldn't have all those tall buildings and folks climbin trees and mountains and stuff."
Another turn down a hall and then into a room that isn't being used, and looks like it never has been, the furniture covered in dust cloths with an air of disuse, with those wide balcony doors at the end. He walked over, fiddled with the latch, and opened them, "The roof slopes down over here and you can get up on it. Ain't even that steep."
And then, to demonstrate, he climbs up on the railing and steps over to where the roof meets, looking back at Harry once he's settled. "See? Ain't hard."

Bros. Uh huh. Harry hasn't brought up his feelings with Corbin since he was forced to--ugh--express his feelings, so if Corbin wants to ignore it Harry is...fine with that.
"I wasn't talking about other people." He was talking about Corbin. "But yeah, sure." Corbin isn't wrong, anywya.
He leans over the balcony a bit to see wher Corbin's going and where he'll be following. "Yeh don't think I'm scared, do yeh?" He grins at him and hops over the railing, hoisting himself with one hand and clambering over to join him. "Have yeh never heard of a crow's nest?" He elbows him in the side, because like it's a real thing but also. Corbin.

Corbin still hasn't quite untangled things re:Harry. But he likes his company, and he's glad he sought him out, and at this point he's sure he'll figure out the rest as he goes.
"Course not." Harry, scared of a little possible bodily harm? Of course not. He chuckles at the joke "Yeah, well if I end up followin you home, you know where to put me." Might be kind of neat. Not that he thinks it will happen, but it's nice to think about.
"C'mon, this way." The way the rooflines intersected meant it was a simple matter to clamber and climb a bit further up the slope of the castle roof.
