No, I'm okay.

( His hands move to Crash's face, acting more tenderly out of his concern and the vibe from before. )

I haven't kissed anyone and completely stopped a party before.

( He's usually a more together, more private... person.

Or a guy, he keeps back, because he knows Crash is a shapeshifter, and currently in the form of an admittedly handsome man. But, it's not really a hangup. He didn't know it wouldn't be, but he's spent years focusing on his sister's death clock, not his own. )

Clearly following your whimsy is paying off.

[They flash him a grin in response, so it's clear that they were an enthusiastic participant.]

But we probably shouldn't risk causing any other traffic jams.

Yeah. Agreed there.

( But, he smiles, and he doesn't bring his hands down or step away. )

I would - invite you back - but I'm living with, like, every Mikaelson alive and my sister.

I'm sharing a room with Dolls.

[Because Aalis won the roshambo to get the single.]

( He doesn't want the night to end. Partially, it's because of this connection, and partially because he doesn't know what awaits him or his sister tomorrow. )

If you have a good idea, I'll follow your lead. It's better than mine tonight.

( They were basically kicked off the dance floor. )

I mean, it's New York City on Halloween. There are no bad ideas.

[That being said, they'll send a text to Aalis and Dolls proclaiming that they're leaving the party and not to wait up.]

Let's get out of here.
