          Virgil got up out of the dresser drawer once the human's had all left. He got his hook and slid down again to go and check on Roman and see what Janus was up to. Once he got over there though he found them both sleeping. Roman was laying along a hole in the wall and Janus looked like he passed out whilst staying on watch for any critters that'd possibly come to both them. He could tell cause Janus was sitting and his head was laying against the wall in what looked to be a rather uncomfortable position. He sat there and waited for one of them to wake up, he didn't want to disturb either of the two.

          Roman woke first. He looked over to see Janus and Virgil. He waved, probably not wanting to wake Janus. Shortly after that Janus ended up waking too. Virgil smiled at them both and continued to sit there, a bit uneasy. He wasn't ready for noon to come..

          Janus, on the other hand, was anticipating noon. He wanted to make sure Roman was going to be ok.
"So uh.. can we do something??" Roman asked, standing up. He winced when he put pressure on his ankle though. Janus rushed over to give him support.
"You see, this is why you take safety precautions!"
Roman opened his mouth to say something but Janus cut him off.
"Even if you could do it without them."

          He helped Roman walk over towards Virgil.
"So what should we do whilst we wait?" Roman said, sitting down. Janus was still standing but Virgil was sitting against the bed's leg.
"We could compete for stupidest person award- oh wait. You've already won first place." Janus glared down at Roman. Virgil could tell they'd gotten very close and Janus cared a lot about Roman. He hoped that'd help Janus be ok with a human helping them.. "We could play would you rather..?" Janus turned to Virgil.
"Sounds fun, Roman do you know how to play? We saw a bunch of kids play it at the apartment."
"Uh, no.."

          After explaining to him they began to play. Roman was asking first.
"Hmmm.. Janus. Would you rather kiss me or Virgil?"
Janus looked between them but quickly answered.
"Definitely you, Roman." He got a bit embarrassed from replying so fast.
"Not cause I like you or anything- It's just that.. Virgil seems like an old friend or more so like a little brother..." Janus looked at Virgil next.
"Would you rather... live in the same house as a child or with a human who knows you exist?"
"Probably with a human who knows I exist.." Virgil realized he probably answered that a little too quickly... He got a but nervous when he saw Janus and Roman exchange a look. He was about to ask a question when the cabin door opened.

          He turned to see Logan entering the cabin. He straighten, about to get him for Roman when he remembered they still didn't know Logan. He turned back to look at the two. They didn't seem to scared but they were careful not to be seen.
"Don't worry.. Logan is the friend I was talking about..." Virgil muttered the second half but they both still heard him.
"You have a human friend? Virgil, has a human friend??" Janus seem rather ok with it, but his ridiculing tone stung a bit. He just shook of the joking insult and went out from under the bed.
"Logan! They're under the bed." Logan came down to them and scooped the up, putting them on the bed which was more so at eye level. Neither of the two seemed to react badly to it, either way Logan seemed to focused on helping out whichever was hurt to have noticed if they flinched anyway.
"So who's foot hurts?" Roman raised his hand and Logan got out a band-aid.
"This is the probably the best I can do, but which one is it?" Roman held out his left foot and Logan wrapped it in a band-aid as if it was a cast.
"Thanks!" Logan nodded in response before setting them back on the floor and heading out again.
Virgil stared back at the two other tinys with a furrowed brow. They turned to look at him.
"What?"
