Devero doesn't respond to Koumyou's apologies, just carries him-- up a car, actually, but only to take the transgate in Standard straight to Sleeper One. It's barely a walk to get to their cabin in the double sleeper carriage from there. He lets Koumyou down to his feet gently, but a bit reluctantly, so he can unlock the door for them.

"Thank you," Devero says with a faint smile. He rises to his feet--

And immediately gathers Koumyou into a hug, bending to kiss the top of the priest's head.

Koumyou hugs him right back, squeezing fiercely and resting the side of his head against Devero's chest for a moment. But only for a moment, before he lets go so the big guy can straighten back up.

"You can go back to the party if you want," the priest suggests, "I'm okay now, and I know Seto's your friend."

Koumyou has got a lot to process, anyway.

Devero's not sure he feels like going back to a party after all of that, but honestly, he could use the space too, so he nods. "I'll see you later, then, my dear." If nothing else, he can return his borrowed duds to the dressing car.
