Yes, things are going to be complicated once this is over,the conversation definitely caused a shift in their friendship but-]
Never, Basil. I'm never leaving, that's a promise.
[He attempts to close the distance between them. He held Sunny at some point, he held Aubrey- and their reactions were quite different. He doesn't know how Basil will react if he tries to embrace him, but he will still go for it, trying to be delicate as possible.]
