[Laurent tramps down all the fondness that Damen's response brings, so that his face stays impassive, maybe a little annoyed that Damen's reasoning has gotten through to him. Compartmentalising his emotions is one of his stronger skills, so he thinks he can indulge in this a little, as a treat, as long as Damen doesn't get any ideas about what lies in his future or what Laurent is up to.]
Not together, together. We're not going to hold hands.
[This time, Laurent heads for the edge leading out to open sky, slow enough that it's clear he's not trying to run. He peers over, backs up before taking a running start to leap onto the first platform. He doesn't look back any more; he believes Damen will follow.]
