And, while at it, maybe they can broaden the scope of their activities outside of this place if need be...?

Even as he's asking the question, he's also sorting through his thoughts to figure out what they could do with this incredibly long period of downtime.. When nothing chaotic is happening, it's so difficult to adjust to the norm, he must admit. Fortune —

Usually the one to take the helm, he did not mind adhering to the words of his friends or lover if necessary. Sometimes they may think of something he hadn't so much as acknowledged in a while... And if not, a little activity for the sake of recreation —

But the best part of it all is the quality time they spend together whilst guiding each other through this tomb.

Though he held himself highly for the sake of the others, he too sometimes wished to lessen the weight on his mental a while. Every bit of assistance around him aided with that much, and nevertheless did he at times reflect on a past only he knows about... —

Having knowledge of the profound admiration and love that needn't be professed made it all the more sweet for him; though, he would not mind if she were loose with her words in moments like these. Nothing outlandish of course, but the look in her eyes would thusly tell him all —

Silent as the stroll started and continued to be, it was a comfortable quiet. A simple peace that his presence alone brought over her.

— gladly adhere to that alongside whatever desires may reside within her being.

Today is a day best taken at a slow pace as is... They've nothing pending, after all.

A nod followed suit 'pon those words eventually reaching him, to which his phalanges curled comfortably within her smaller hand—though he needn't exercise caution, there was something immensely gentle about his provided hold that's rare to see anywhere else.

It is false —

So, bringing a hand up to meet the larger, skeletal hand that awaited was only the proper response.

There is no rush fortunately, and may there be anything Albedo wishes to discuss with him, he'll —

In this mundane state of affairs, only one possibility ran about the mind of the Supreme One's mind: a moment to spend time with the one closest to him. If there's anything plausible, it is that simple, concurrent act which they both may pursue as they please to any ends —

— vast room, pacing towards the White Devil's side before holding out his hand expectingly, "today? I'd like you to walk with me a while. Let us spend some time together—and if you've any other suggestions, know that I will hear them out."
