[ Easy acquiescence. Clive should have known. Verso is too good to him, and he'd have half a mind to push back if he didn't also know that doing so would be an insult. This is Verso asserting his freedom, and Clive will have to accept the notion that he is part and parcel of it instead of another burden for Verso to bear.
So: ] Thank you. [ Gratitude, on the tail end of a warm sigh. ] ―We'll spend the night here, and head out in the morning.
[ Flirting with the vague notion that Joshua might come back, while also acknowledging that it's been a long, long day. Again: death and love and survival. Clive's heart needs to rest as much as the rest of him does, desperate as it is to confirm whether this new development is truth or trick.
His fingers dance along Verso's jaw, appreciating his closeness before telegraphing that he'll relinquish it temporarily. There are tints that he needs to replenish, and other useful supplies and information besides that the Grandis could provide him with: he should also make sure that the blond-haired man really is his Joshua, though he really can't recall any other Expeditioner in recent history going by his brother's name.
One last soft kiss to the corner of Verso's mouth, and Clive untangles himself to do his due diligence. He'll return in time to help Verso with finding a cozy spot to untangle bedrolls, and help him hang their clothes over a warm fire to dry them properly for their subsequent impromptu journey. ]
