[The planetarium is new, so it's worth checking out more than once. Rufus is already there with his neck craned to look up at the constellations. Whatever he's seeing, he doesn't appear very impressed nor moved.
Without moving his gaze, he pipes up when Hansa enters.]
[After cleaning up, Rufus exits the inn with the scratches still very red and fresh on his face. They don't appear to bother him as he walks the road, his hands shoved in his pockets, with Rupe trailing obediently behind him.]
[Time to go wander into the kitchen to get some tea to just. Wind down after that whole mess. Hansa blinks when he recognizes the man already in the kitchen, before giving him a half-hearted wave.]
[Hansa is just standing at the control bridge, hands on his hips as he looks over the room. It's very...futuristic, huh. Space and planets and Star Trek references, oh my.]
[When he hears someone come in, he waves, recognizing Rufus off the bat.]
Hey, Rufus. Random question. Have you ever been to space?
[Rufus appears to be perusing the maps on the table in the captain's quarters when Hansa enters. He looks up—and opts to stare at Hansa instead of saying anything.]
[Rufus doesn't seek Hansa out, and the reverse is most probably true. Their paths cross on the way between buildings, though, and Rufus—now that he's able to see, and with fresh dressing around his arm to boot—stops to look at Hansa.
Thankfully, he managed to ditch the monkey a while back. For now, it's just them.]
[Well, aren't these bubbles troublesome? Hansa is grumbling as he tries to avoid them, twisting out of the way of them, before he suddenly turns - right into you!]
They never coordinated a location to meet, so Rufus sits in the lobby of the inn. It's less private than his assigned room and not nearly as public as wandering outside. The miniature wolf accompanying him for the week sits next to him while he seemingly waits with the PHS in his hands.]
[And here Hansa comes up, with a pretty sizable paper bag, and a wolf of his own trotting at his heels, though this one has an eyepatch like him. He offers the bag.]
[If Rufus should take it, he should find:
- a heated can of drinkable tomato soup - a peanut and butter jelly sandwich - a bottle of some kind of soda - an apple - a twinkie-equivalent pastry]
[There's a low whine - almost a forlorn attempt at a howl - that can be heard somewhere in the music store. If Rufus decides to check it out, he'll just find Hansa, a little glittery, just resting in a chair.]
[His face is stony. But the wolf nearby whines again, before resting her head on the arm of his chair.]
[Whereas Hansa glitters, Rufus carries the faint aroma of flowers that decorate his hair and apparel. They add some color to his otherwise dark palette. Behind him, the wolf follows quietly and slowly.]
[Just going through the castle still dressed in...gym clothes. Its fine. He's just seeing if there's anything changed after their little adventures, and...]
[He stops by the Queen Room, furrowing his eyebrows when he notices who is inside.]
[Rufus is clad in a tuxedo with part of his hair slicked back, mimicking his look at the ball weeks prior. He looks over his shoulder when he hears Hansa's calling his name.]

day 0, early afternoon
[He's here at the emporium - and here's the man he wanted to see. Hansa grins, holding up something in his hand.]
I have something for you. As payment.
[He just?? Tosses the condom from the bag at Rufus???? PAYMENT?????]

week 4 wednesday morning
Oh! Oh, sorry, I-
[And then a bubble pops against you - and a memory suddenly appears, featuring a boy with a characteristic mole under his left eye that might seem familiar...]
[And when that's done, Hansa just lets out a groan.]
Why does this keep happening...

Isn't that obvious? It's the Realm's doing.
