I’m poly and a pack type, so I usually just prefer that the people I’m with stay forever.
But if they aren’t my people and I have to get up early and do stuff without them, I’ll usually start talking about needing to go to bed soon to do a thing, and talk about that thing if I feel comfortable with them knowing. Usually steers things quickly.
If it was my parents or something, I would probably go with the “welp, it’s getting to be about that time. It was great seeing you.” Or “we should do this more often” Etc.
