[ If Izō had gone into his bedroom in the time Ryouma was out, he would have found that Ryouma had retrieved his clothes and swords from the store. They'd been cleaned and laid out, as if that waiting for Izō to return.
But nevermind that right now. Ryouma freezes when he hears Izō's voice -- he must have finally gone insane from the loneliness. It's only when he turns to face Izō that he realizes no, he is not crazy, and he it was Izō's voice he heard call to him.
He can only stare as his heart pounds in his chest. ]
I-Izō?!
[ The sack of groceries falls to the floor as he rushes over without thinking to hug Izō tightly. He'd come back, just as he said he would. Ryouma never doubted he would, it was just a matter of when.
He pulls back after a moment to look Izō in the face, smiling brightly, even as tears threaten to spill from his eyes. At this distance, it's easy to see how rough Ryouma looks, dark circles under his eyes and generally looking less put together than usual.

It doesn't matter now, though. ]
You're safe... [ A gentle kiss. ] I'm so glad...
