John had been surprised and very glad to see Kayo there if he was honest. He shouldn't he knew, she wasn't real, but he couldn't help it, he still…
He wrapped his arms about her, pulling in the scent of sea air from her hair, holding tighter when he felt her return the gesture. Everything he was about to do would hurt, but he would be okay if she stayed by him.
He would need to keep her safe, to make sure she didn't know what he would do, before or after.
They two walked towards the house in mostly silence, the polite small talk was exchanged but other then that very little was said.
They were headed for the bedrooms, John in desperate want for a change of clothes.
Gordon's door was pushed and Penny walked out, setting her hair in place, she smiled politely pushing past as Gordon followed. They stood for a moment, polite smiles as Kayo smiled and carried on down the corridor. There was polite words, Gordon welcomed him home and John faked interest.
'Are you going to see Scooter and Virg?' the question wasn't unexpected, it was after all, why he was earthside, it still hit him though, a short jab to the stomach as it reminded him exactly why he was here.
'Yes' he answered, short and sweet and not untrue. 'Tomorrow or the day after' he needed tonight to plan, to make sure he knew what to do. Then he would visit and work out his route and everything would fall into place. Then he would wake up, and everything would be better. He was a little apprehensive if he was honest with himself, this had been such a long time coming and now to be this close? It would be worth it though.
