.
 Pietr steers them, stumbling, into the /Lucky Seven suite.
Chuckold collapses first, yanking Pietr down onto the couch after her.
He snorts, smiles, settles in.
Chuck scowls, sniffs, pushes in between them—
Chuckold grumps, lashes out and kicks his hip, snuggles closer to Pietr. Dozes off.
Chuck fumes, swats Chuckold away, tries—
Pietr sighs, bars his path. Gestures, 'I've got another side, you know'. 
Chuck glowers over, grumbling, "I'm worried 'bout ye, that's all." Slumps down. 
Pietr ruffles Chuck's hair—
He /might lean into Pietr's hand.
—and kisses his temple. He slouches further into the cushions, rests his head on Chuck's shoulder. Dozes off.
Chuck smiles. Dozes off—
Chuck is aware.
Why?
Sounds of a scuffle. 
Scott whispers, ""Did he drug 'em?""
""She ....""
""Looks ... happy.""
Chuck tenses.
Pietr shifts, huffs.
Scott again, ""New kid's a miracle worker, ay?""
Chuck forces himself to relax.
""Must be.""
""Better let 'em sleep.""
""Yea ....""
The old man and Scott pad to their rooms. 
Chuck takes a deep breath and nestles closer to Pietr, then counts /Striker's muscle strands until he dozes off.
