[ The hug catches him off guard but collects her into his arms to pull her in close, one hand resting on the back of her head. ] Hey, it's going to be okay [ , Murphy murmurs softly into her hair. ]
We've made it this far. They're not going to separate us now. I won't let that shit go down without a fight.
[ Both of his hands drop down onto either of her shoulders and pulls her far enough so he can look at her, right into those brown eyes. ] I got you, Raven.
[She hates the idea of needing anyone, but right now she's so glad Murphy came for, that he's here with her now. With a slow, shaky breath, her small frame just holds him before looking back up with a firm nod.]
I know. I never doubted you. [He guided her all the way here, and now she was safe, and she would be okay. She just needed to be able to let that out, to show vulnerability with him before exploding.]
[ Murphy manages to pull out an airy chuckle despite being as nervous as he is now. ] I really appreciate the vow of confidence. [ He means it. He needs that assurance.
The elevator doors open and Murphy holds his hand out to Raven so she doesn't step out too fast. He looks out first, down one way and then the other. The hallway is empty so they were free to slink out of the elevator. His hand is on her wrist, loose grip around her, guiding her to their place.
After the door is unlocked, Murphy pulls in Raven first and he follows in right after to shut and lock the door. ]
[Once in the room, she nods. It's exactly what she was thinking, and she nods with a little more assurance.]
I can't stay here. If anyone realizes I have a white stripe, they'll come here first. I was thinking the data firm I've been working on. Wesley can't have my name actually on it, because I'm a sub. But we just got the building all together.
[It's the safest thing she could think. Right now they could regroup here, but she doesn't think it's the best idea to stay here.]
Well, I'm going with you [ , Murphy clips. ] Let's get some shit packed. [ He nods toward their room and goes in first. They have the time now so why not pack some clothes before dipping out until things went back to normal.
Murphy isn't really too sure what normal is anymore.
He tosses a bag onto the bed for her to fill with whatever she needed and wanted to take with her. ]
