[Will releases the girls and Cor immediately has to snap his fingers, pointing at the floor before Arche can even get all four feet onto the bed. His jacket gets slung over the desk chair, boots toed off beside the desk, and he moves to curl an arm back around Will when he realizes what the younger man is doing.
His heart catches in his throat, surprised that Will would be comfortable being that vulnerable. It doesn't take long for him to follow the same logic that Will himself has. Cor's hand slides down Will's arm, hand curling around the other man's, large enough to close around Will's fist almost completely. His other hand pulls Will back against his chest, nuzzling into his hair, still giving him the privacy of facing away from him.]
It's not you, dulcissime.
[A soft murmur, reassuring, before the tinkle of crystal and a flicker of blue light has the mask vanishing from his hand, safely tucked away in the armiger where it can't even be seen but can be accessed in a heartbeat if needed.]
