[Simon stood up as Koi was preparing to leave, the slight sickness he'd been feeling starting to dissipate just as the tension and suspicion in the air had. He smiled slightly at his father and gave him the tiniest of smiles and a brief, one-armed hug.]

I'll be home as soon as I can, Dad. We might be busy here for a while, though. See you later.

[He then turned to the other two and spoke in the same soft tone he'd used before.]

Are the two of you going to be alright? I'm not going to press for details, nor do I really want to know them, but- do you want me to leave as well?
