[There's a relief that goes through his chest when he gets Rogue's affirmation. Y-yeah, he can count on her. He shouldn't forget that, despite what she said that one time. Morph still has hope for her, so that... that means something, right? The Scott from their world probably wouldn't give up either. It's some more stuff to think about, maybe when they're back home.

They both used their powers anyway, so continuing to venture out may not the best of ideas. She won't be able to protect him from a gnosia attack and he won't be able to cure anyone else of their infection. The most they'd be able to do is perhaps stop a fight from continuing, which is still important, but they are definitely more limited now. They have to be more careful--

And his thoughts are interrupted when she pokes him in the ass.]

H-hey! [The mutant exclaims with a light blush, because wow Kotone!! Just for that, he pokes her back in the side with a small laugh. Poor Morph, having to deal with this even if they are unconscious.] And we'll practice more, okay?

[Because he really wants to fight with her.]

Anyway, Rogue's on her way, so once she grabs Morph, wanna head back? Just for a little.

[In spite of her exhaustion, she can't help but giggle a bit at Scott's protest. If they were alone, in the safety of their own home, maybe she'd pinch or smack his butt because his reactions to things like that are funny -- but they just got out of a fight for their literal lives, and they're not safe yet. She knocks her head back against his as if to apologize, though she just laughs against and nods.]

Just for a little. [She falls silent after that, smile fading into something more reflexive than genuine as she keeps her eyes on the streets around them. It felt like using that guardian angel power had taken a lot more out of her than it had in the past; is that a sign that she's starting to lose that power? Is there a different kind of stamina tied to it, and it takes longer than a single day to truly recharge? She doesn't know, but based on Scott's behavior, it seems like it might be similar for his power, too.]

...We'll get through this together, okay? Sanada-senpai would probably say that proper rest is important to making sure we can fight our best.

[Kotone must be pretty tired herself, huh? She didn't even protest.]

We will.

[Yeah, they'll get through this together. This definitely ranks up there as one of the worst things that have ever happened in this world, but they've dealt with other crappy things still. They'll manage, as always. He squeezes her hand for a moment, finding comfort in her subtle strength and Scott hopes that she can find similar comfort in the gesture.]

He's right though, we won't help anyone if we're too exhausted to stand on our feet. We'll just cause more problems. [Just two extra people to protect.]
