Well, and doing what most good practices do - investing a certain percentage in what is sure, and a much smaller percentage in what will pay off spectacularly if successful. And tomorrow, he's going to resolve to invest a small amount in a certain Blue's tiny hat business.

"I admit I am looking forward to it."

"So am I. Baby's first corporate takeover." He ruffles Delta's hair, settling back into the sofa. It's going to be amazing.

"Indeed." He suffers his hair being ruffled with a smile and leans back into the sofa as well. "Naturally, should you encounter any inside trader information, I would appreciate the tips."

"Are you asking me to help you with unethical business practices?" He leans away enough to really look at Delta, beaming. "Oh my god you're all grown up and morally ambiguous. I'm so proud."

Delta rubs at the back of his neck, slightly embarrassed. "It does seem to be the standard operating procedure here."

"It's kind of a requirement here. You're just keeping ahead of the curve. Sure, D. I hear anything? I'll let you know. And I can probably do some fiddling on my own to swing the market in certain areas in your favor." Maybe. Sort of? Depends.

"Excellent." Well, Delta's in a better mood now, anyway. "Then I will keep you appraised of some important investment factors."

"Anything I can do to help Sanctum's benevolent overlord in the making." This- this is what they both needed. he kisses Delta's cheek, right on the almost dimple that hides there more often than not. "Just say the word, baby."

"I will," he promises and sends over an amused thanks.

I feel very much improved. I believe I will return now, if that is acceptable?

Don't let me keep you. I'm just glad you're feeling better.

He misses D. He will always miss Delta. But a big part in their growing as individuals and his own issues is them having their own space- and this was something they both needed. Better to end it on a high note.

Call me whenever, okay? I'm always around.

I will.

And he'll give York one more fierce, grateful hug before he leaves.
