Yue kissed James' cheek back. "... You are done packing for the tour, right?"

"..." James kissed Yue's cheek again, avoiding the question.

"You want help?" Yue asked.

James kissed Yue's temple.

"I'll take that as a yes," Yue replied.

James slowly smiled before kissing her lightly on the lips.

A little later there was a knock of Long's door.

Yue kissed James back for a little while before pulling away and pulling him along.

There was no reply.

Zala tried to open the door.

The door was locked.

"Hey! Long?" Zala called through the door.

Just when it looked like he wasn't there, the door slowly opened.

"I want to check your levels one last time," Zala explained as the door opened.

Long glanced through the crack of the opened door at Zala before nodding a little. Then he slipped through the door and closed it.

Zala stared at Long, "Why are you being so sneaky?" she asked with calculating eyes.

Long didn't say anything, avoiding eye contact with Zala. His fist was still bandaged up.

Zala stared at his hand for a long moment before moving around Long to try and open the door.
