He leans into her touch, his expression gradually warming as a smile begins to pull at the corners of his mouth, as soft as his hand against her skin. So much of this new world and the fox's constant trials make him wary, but this, at least, he thinks he can trust. And even if there is some hidden cruelty behind the fox's motivation for reuniting them, it's a risk he's willing to take.

"Will you walk with me?" he asks as his hand finds hers, entwining their fingers in a way he could only dream of before today. She's no longer limited to existing on a network, and he's no longer leashed to the LAPD. There's nothing to interrupt their time together now. And there's so much lost time to make up for, so many possibilities and new experiences awaiting them, he hardly knows where to begin.

Oh — but he does know. Hadn't she been looking for a scavenger hunt partner?

"I'll help you complete your list. And you can tell me about... everything." His voice falters a little as he says it. No, the future can wait; they can speak of it later. Better to focus on the here and now. After all, it isn't every day that a hologram gains a physical body through which to experience the world.

"Everything you'd like to do here," he amends, sounding more sure this time, and his smile grows as he repeats what he'd said to her once before. A lifetime ago. "Honey, you can go anywhere you want in the world now."

But now she truly can.
