[Just another day of Alexei and Schwann navigating difficult subjects that involve emotions.]

...If I'm honest, I would appreciate your company. This probably isn't a good night for being alone with my thoughts.

[If Alexei hadn't come to check on him, he probably would've ended up at his door at some point anyway.]

[ideismo]

[It's clear from the brief flicker in his expression that he wasn't quite expecting that; he settles easily enough, however.]

Very well, then.

[...It's then that he'll actually seem to realize that he should probably take the damn chair and not just hover near the door.]

I would be lying if I said I hadn't had nights like that myself, in this place.

[Oh good, they can not awkwardly stand around now!! Schwann joins Alexei, sitting on his bed across from him.]

Yeah, it's...definitely not the first time.

[Briefest of flashbacks to that night at the sparring grounds...]

But I didn't want to just go to the bar again, not after last week. Even I know how unproductive all of that was.

[Pointedly not even making a reference to That Night though.]

I can't say I would blame you on particularly difficult nights, to be honest, even if I maintain that it's best to keep away from it for the time being. I know just waiting for nights like these to pass is never ideal, but...

[...Yeah.]

I'll stay for however long you require it.

[Schwann nods at the first part, as if saying "...yeah" as well.]

It's appreciated. [...] Is there anything that you'd like to discuss while you're here?

[So he's not just keeping Alexei in his room with nothing to do but offer company...]

[ideismo]

[Actually.]

...Moriarty spoke of allies. He also seemed rather unsubtle regarding Tenn being one of them.

I assume they received correspondence as well.
