All right then, he wouldn't be taking the magician elsewhere. Tamaki seemed more than ready to face the challenge of a bed shortage, strangely so - almost as if he'd been Fai at the Cat's Eye back in Oto, ready to make due when the tables were filled with customers. Not just the enthusiasm was familiar but Tamaki's looks as well. Kurogane partly blamed the similar appearance for how easily Tamaki was comparing with the other blond in his mind. The connection was somewhat eerie.

"Fine," he consented to everything spoken, then folded his arms once more and leaned his back against the wall. If he'd been sure he could have taken a seat on the bed without hurting Fai, he'd have done that instead, but for now the wall was fine. It was as out of the way as possible for the room size (and for his own size) without him actually having to leave.

Leaving still remained an option though. Fai had been seen to and wasn't going to go anywhere with the state he was in. Kurogane could easily leave him in the M35 Clinic's care and go finish what he'd originally set out to do - find Fai, then find the others. That's what he should be doing now anyway, finding the others. It wasn't find Fai, then forget about the others and stay with Fai all night because he'd been stupid. And yet, that was exactly what the evening was about to turn into. One more glance down at Fai was all that was needed to know,

Kurogane wasn't about to just leave Fai in someone else's care. Tamaki had helped, and willingly, but the boy was still a stranger. From that fact alone, Kurogane couldn't bring himself to trust that Fai would be fine if he left. That meant he had no choice but to stay. He'd have done the same for any other member of their group, but still... "What a pain," he breathed silently, then closed his eyes and leaned his head back to the wall as well.

At least Fai was all right, for now.
