As Jon relaxes, he slides his arms around Martin's shoulders. He doesn't want Martin to let him go. He so rarely touches other people, Martin has become his sole source of that particular comfort and he's missed it. He's missed feeling at ease with this person he loves and cares for. Even if he's done an absolute shit job of showing that lately.
He brushes his fingers over the back of Martin's neck and touches their foreheads together.
There's another apology on the tip of his tongue and he tries to hold it back.
It doesn't stay quiet as he sighs, his mind quickly switching gears as he thinks about their next steps.
"Well," He starts, keeping his arms wrapped around Jon's waist. "What are we going to do about the Veiled Order?"
Considering Jon may have succeeded in his tasks, what did that mean for them? Martin was marked, Jon may have joined a cult, and they're still no closer to an answer.
"I don't know," he admits, sounding somewhat defeated. He brushes his thumb along Martin's cheek. "There's a group studying them that I've... joined, I suppose. I'm learning what I can from them."
Jon is aware that he's done something very stupid in trying to do something right. It is not the first time. It isn't even the first time that Martin has tried to come to his rescue.
"We may have to see what comes next and plan from there."
"Really? That'll be helpful. Learn anything useful?"
Stupid? More like reckless, but it was just semantics at any rate. It's not like neither of them has done something reckless or stupid at some point.
"I started talking to a young woman named Waverly. She's got a conspiracy board going on. Kind of reminds me a little bit of someone..." He teases lightly.
Jon sighs and leans into Martin, closing his eyes for just a moment as he listens. Waverly. He tries to remember if that name is familiar at all, but nothing strikes a chord. It's good that Martin is meeting people, though, and possibly making friends. He deserves that.
"I resent that insinuation. I don't have a board."
"Oh was it just a conspiracy notebook then?" He raises a brow, chuckling as he teases. "Or conspiracy calendar?"
It's nice to be able to tease him again without feeling like he's being mean about it, or that he's more angry than amused. It was a refreshing break from everything that is Hell.
"I'll see if she'll let me write down some of it for you. She had a few names of people who did and didn't go to the church who were marked, as well as another from the Veiled Order's first attempt at binding Lucifer to Hell."
