And that's the problem.

[ Crinkling her nose at him, hihi. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

I'd like to think that it's just a natural product of my discerning mind.

[Yeah, he's relaxed again. And they're also slowing down, because the cars are being unloaded for a new batch of riders.]

Hmm... I guess we both ought to go home after this.

[therealbrianna]

[ And just as she lets out a yawn, too. ]

I'm okay with that.

[icarusalsoflew]

[So he's smiling at that, and dutifully getting off first once they're turn. He holds the door open for her, and then holds his hand out in her direction once they're both far away from the crowd.]

I'll take us both right to your doorstep.

[therealbrianna]

[ Silently taking his hand with a smile and preparing herself for the walk back. ]

Surely!

[icarusalsoflew]

[And once their palms have made contact, they're standing on the road closest to Brianna's home. No lights are on, of course: everyone in there is asleep.

He doesn't let go of her hand, even as he's walking her to her doorstep. Have a kiss to the cheek, daughter, once you're there.]

Sleep well, Bri.

[therealbrianna]

You too, daddy.

[ Moving in to give him a tight, warm hug. ]
