More kisses will always be welcome, even if K is still a bit shy about initiating. There's that damaged part of him that's not fully convinced his presence, affection, or love are truly wanted, though it's becoming easier to ignore such doubts on days like this one.

"If it's ever possible to return to your home universe with you, consider yourself free to make use of anything I have. Here, too," he adds. "Even if it's just for rock collecting." If it makes Jayce happy or his life easier, K's all in favour of it. And of course it's a nice bonus that using his spinner's equipment would also probably mean spending more time together. Speaking of which—

He glances at Jayce with surprise plain in his expression at the suggestion of occasionally living together, a privilege he'd (mistakenly, he's realising) assumed was reserved for Mel alone.

"I'd love that," he replies, an understatement judging by the rush of elation Jayce will be able to feel through their bond. "I've wanted to suggest as much before, I just... didn't want to impose on you." And he'd worried he'd be putting Jayce in an awkward position of having to turn him down if he'd asked.

He yearns to build a life and future with his two partners in Folkmore, since it's the only opportunity he'll have for it, but he's also carefully mindful of the limitations of polyamory and tries his best to fit his wants and needs into the space he's been allowed. He's happy to accept whatever Jayce is comfortable sharing with him. And with the eventual disappearance of Joi in the coming weeks, he'll be more grateful than ever for any company.

"I haven't tested it everywhere yet, but in the places I did, there seems to be invisible barriers preventing us from going beyond a certain point." Which hadn't been new to him, he'd found similar boundaries in both Deerington and Trench before. "We could test it more later, if you want to. Probably get a good view of the stars if nothing else." It could be quite romantic, he thinks.

With the speeds the spinner is capable of, it isn't a terribly long trip to reach Cruel Summer, even with K intentionally taking scenic routes at a leisurely pace. He's in no hurry; being able to share the wonderful sights of Folkmore in this unique way with Jayce is well worth savouring. Once they're over the desert, though, he makes a few adjustments to the displays so Jayce will be able to see all the different inorganic chemical compositions present in the ground below — it's a veritable treasure trove of minerals.
