His heart only races in time to the footsteps rapidly bringing them closer together. He's honestly surprised he didn't just attack Tim's face with a kiss himself, but there they are, teetering on that line.

"Think you can hold out until the closest empty room?" Somehow, amusement finds its way into his voice. It shakes a bit, breathy for sure, but he's grateful that he's still all there himself. Just enough to pick up his feet and fall into hurried step alongside Tim. There's plenty of rooms in this goddamn castle, so he doubts they'll be walking around for too long.
