Dottore still stands there trying to decide if he should stay yes or no yet he would return back to Pantalone his room and see him sit on the bed reading a book. When he entered the room though Pantalone looks uo from the book and puts the book aside. Dottore closes the door behind him and walks over to the other. While Pantalone thought they would kiss he is surprised to feel Dottore just hug him and lay ontop of him. A soft smile appears on his face and he pats Dottore his head gently almost to signal he made the right decision to return to him "should we have dinner together some time? Perhaps we can go to your favourite restaurant?"

The man rests his head on the other his chest yet he would look up at the other seeming a little confused "I do not have a favourite restaurant... I said that restaurant was my favourite since I know you enjoyed the food there so I did it more so for you back then" he spoke and lets the other play with his hair as this brings some good memories back to him "or perhaps we can go to a new restaurant?"

Pantalone chuckles softly looking up at the ceiling with a smile shaking his head finding it amusing that Dottore is so eager to please his wishes "there is no need. It is good you seem more comfortable going out in public spaces"

"It still makes me incredible uncomfortsble...all those people, ugh... I mean really- they just are-..."

"They are minding their own business. Is that what bothers you?" The harbinger chuckles yet Dottore seems not so pleased by it.

"I found something of my parents not long ago. It brought back memories I did not want to relive. Lets just stop talking about it" Dottore whispers and he and Pantalone both know deep, deep within Dottore his twisted heart and mind is a broken boy with unresolved trauma.

Pantalone knows what he means by it and wraps his arms more around the other pressing a kiss ontop of his head "get some more rest. I will get some more rest as well" he whispers.

Thus Dottore would close his eyes yet when he opens them again he sees the bright sun hitting his face and as he raises his arm to block out the sun somebody grabs his hand and drags him along laughing and giggling.
He himself would follow the young woman as they would sit down together "Zandik I made you something!" The woman cheerfully smiled at him and gives him a mechanical looking piece which is infact a small mechanical creature she created that is able to fit in the palm of Dottore his hands.
Dottore holds the experiment and looks close to it with his red eyes "there are some parts that are off..." he informs and watches the mechanical machine die out in his hands.

"Oh?" She spoke and scoots closer to the other who shows her exactly what was wrong as they wpuld sit unusually close together "you are so smart! You truely have a eye for these things" yet sitting so close she can catch a glimpse of something beneath his collar so she sits up more straight looking at the young man with furrowed brows "another bruise? Zandik you must report this to the Akademiya! They can help. I am sure my mother and father do not mind taking you in either"

The young Dottore hides the bruise more as he just looks down shaking his head "no-...I will be fine I suppose... mother has it worse" he spoke and hands her the small mechanical creature back to her and gives her a weak smile to show he is fine "I will see you tomorrow for class" hopping of the branch he helps her of it and would walk away with his head hanging low.

"Okay bye!" She sadly calls out feeling bad to see him walk away like this knowing the home situation.

Right when Zandik would return home he dodges a knife being thrown at him as it lands right besides his head. Before he could even put his stuff down his father grabs him by his troath and pushes him in the ground, climbs ontop of his son and stsrts to beat him up clearly smelling of alcohol.
