DT Serum, Primary Testing In Progress

Tramp focused on Ashton, shivering as he hugged himself tight. "You protect the li-little ones?" he whimpered.

Ashton nodded steadily. "I promise. Me and Lex both."

Tramp hesitated a moment longer then held out his hand and cautiously accepted the brownie. He snatched and took a bite, eating it eagerly. "Good!"

Ashton smiled a bit, glad Tramp seemed a little happier now, but felt a little queasy from the bite of brownie he had to try and prove they weren't drugged.

Shuni was still upset and looked to Ashton, but Ashton was focused on Tramp. Feeling disconcerted and forgotten, Shuni hurried downstairs to hide amongst his cats in his room.

Tramp calmed a little, sitting hugging his knees tightly. "I'm sorry," he mumbled to Ashton.

Ashton shook his head. "it's okay. I should have thought it out a little better. How are you feeling now?"

"I'm okay. Are you okay?" Tramp asked him worriedly.

"I'll be fine." Ashton promised with a smile.

"Okay." Tramp pulled off the belt and tossed it onto the chair before curling up on the bed.

Ashton pulled up a chair beside the bed and sat in that. He didn't want to make Tramp uncomfortable, and this way he could keep an eye on both him and Bobo.

Bobo shifted a little, moving to a more comfortable position. He settled down and soon started snoring.
"Why are you over there?" Tramp asked tiredly.

"So I can keep an eye on you and Bobo." Ashton said. "And I, ah, didn't want to make you uncomfortable by sitting on the bed."

"I don't mind. Whatever makes you comfortable," Tramp whispered.

Ashton thought for a moment before he stood and sat on the bed, back to the headboard beside Tramp. "Is this all right?"

Tramp managed a smile and shifted so he was snuggled up to Ashton's leg. "I think you just wanted to get me into bed, you scallywag."

That made Ashton blush a bit. "Yeeaahhhh.... we'll go with that."
