"Will Graham here. Leave a message."

[Open for text/audio/action/whatever.]

The scent fades and Malcolm realizes Will doubled back. That means the deck. He starts to walk back to the elevator then pauses and peels off for the stairs, heading up to the deck that way and creeping out onto the deck, sniffing at the air.

And as soon as Malcolm steps onto the Deck, the trail's much harder to follow. It's stronger in some places and then fades. It's not like there's wind here, but there are other people passing through. Considering how often it starts suddenly smelling like someone else, it seems that Will might've intended that to help.

But if Malcolm keeps following the broken-up scent trail, he'll eventually reach the stairs leading to the upper deck.

Malcolm looks up, then moves carefully and quietly up the stairs, inhaling for the scent before peeking over the top of the stairs.

He's not immediately obvious. His scent gets stronger, though- he's more recently been here. Maybe he even watched in the spot next to the stairs for a minute before heading down the right side of the Upper Deck.

It's not hard to follow his trail from here. He's tried to hide it by doubling back a couple times, but it leads into the Lounge.

It's stronger in some places and weaker in others... Will's so clever. He tries not to be distracted by that.

He moves carefully across the deck, following the trail, and finds his way into the Lounge.

He wasn't really visible from the few windows outside the Lounge. However, as soon as Malcolm walks in, he'll see Will leaning against the bar and facing the door. He's a little sweaty- he clearly just got here.

Will's grin is a little more wolf -like than usual, as he pushes off the bar. "Knew I made it too easy for you."

Malcolm grins at him.

"Maybe you wanted me to catch you," he teases as he walks over. When he reaches him, he doesn't hesitate in throwing his arms around his husband and giving him an enthusiastic kiss.

Will lets out a small laugh of joy as Malcolm approaches him. They kiss, and Will's arms automatically go around Malcolm's waist.

"Maybe I did," he replies as they finally separate. "Because I knew it would lead to this. And maybe I'd like to catch you sometime, myself. But that's...more recreational." He leans in close, but doesn't go for another kiss (not yet). "Would you like something to drink before we head home?"

“I could go for a whiskey,” he admits. “Even though it involves at least one of us letting go…”
