{` maybe that could have gone a little bit better than she had anticipated, but that wasn’t the point. he had his brother back now, so it was up to him what to do with that. she wouldn’t try and push for anything either way. she had done her part, patched up soryong, and made a vow to discover how to regrow limbs and go down in history as the best healer ever. but that wasn’t the most pressing thing on her mind.} well… {` she took a deep breath. she had played this over a few times in her head. maybe it was too early to tell him, but she was scared of not telling him and him finding out and then being mad she didn’t tell him. but then again, he might not like hearing what she was about to say either. it was the lesser of two evils} i’m.. late.

.... [`/ his eyes opened a tad, and he sat up slightly, propping himself up properly on his elbows. he let silence settle for a second as he looked at the ceiling, trying to gauge whether he'd heard right before turning to Seolhyun. everything flickered past his eyes -- apprehension, fear, excitement -- but he kept the rest of his face in check. ] how late? have you... done a test? [`/ pregnancy spells were fairly simple, but Daeryong didn't trust himself enough to perform one. all of a sudden he was wide awake, holding back a sneeze in order to ask more questions-- wait, sneeze-- he toyed with shuffling back a little, instantly aware of his illness, but decided not to. his eyes stayed glued on Seolhyun's pancake stomach. ] woah. [`/ patting his cheeks he couldn't hold back the smile. he didn't want to get his hopes up but-- ]

( `he just smiles as he closes his eyes and gives an noncommittal hum ) Something like that. ( `his hand flies to the bandage across his eyes and touches it, his fingers applying slight pressure at the hollowed out socket. it still feels weird to him, not to have anything under his lids. It’s like picking at a scab, it’s painful but he can’t stop doing it. ) I met Seol. ( `he recalls her tears and a pang of guilt creeps up to him ) I should really apologize to her, I must have scared her. But what, you mean things actually happen when I’m not around? ( `opening his eyes, he gives Daeryong a playful grin before swatting him with his hand. His only hand. He stares at it for a moment before shaking his head. ) Well, fill me in.

It's mostly people leaving. [`/ he fiddles with his nails, too lazy to reel off the long and extensive list. ] People coming and then going and coming again. Seriously, name a person and they've probably buggered off to goodness knows where. Quidditch is a mess. [`/ easily rolling his eyes his head moves left to right in a slow shake -- expressing his distaste at the teams deteriorating and not getting filled again. ] The one captain girl, Hyomin, she got pregnant. Scandalous. [`/ shrugging innocently he unwraps a chocolate mouse from his robe pocket and bites the tail. ] Gave birth to the kid on campus but yeah, obviously she had to go. That's pureblood gossip in general though. [`/ didn't personally interest him, other than it meaning... ] We can be the pair of beaters now.

{` seolhyun frowned at his comment. to show that she wanted him, daeryong, and only him, she rested her head against his chest and hugged him around the waist.} no way, i like you. {` she told him, her tongue stumbling over the L like she was about to say a word that might have been far too large to use just yet. she didn’t want to freak him out, but then again, there was other news she had that might do the exact same thing.} i just know how much you.. missed him and i thought you’d be happy. {` she pecked his lips } i think i have something else to tell you though {` she whispered against his mouth before hiding her face in his side and breathing him in}

Well-- Of course I'm happy he's back, uh-duh. [`/ he rolled his eyes before closing them, leaning back against the bed. he had many feelings surging to his brain, and many people had been telling him how to feel of late. Daeryong was happy with the truth, Soryong was alive, and he wouldn't be rushing to do anything overly stupid anytime soon because he was recovering. plain and simple. ] Hm. Something else? [`/ his eyes nearly opened because he sensed a slight shift, but pegged it on something else, not feeling overly suspicious. ]

look i drew soryong

do you want a medal or something?

{` seolhyun grins and steps into the room, shutting the door behind her and then scurries over to his bed, crawling into it and making herself at home, as if it was just as much her bed as it was his} hi. {` she whispered, smiling at him from where she was perched against his pillows. her fingers skated across the bedspread to find his, playing with them absently.} are you feeling a bit better? it was the soup, wasn’t it? {` she asked him with a cute grin, just happy to see him looking healthier again.} did.. you see your brother yet?

mhmm, saw him a couple of days ago. [`/ in alignment with the current mood, he keeps his voice low too. he lifts her hand to kiss her soft fingertips in a moment of intimacy. truthfully he's scared of what comes next, intensely scared, but he's not gonna voice that aloud. ] why do we have to talk about him though-- [`/ he winks subtly. ] do you like him better than me? huh? [`/ he playfully sticks his tongue out before shrugging and looking reflective again, up at the ceiling. ] in all seriousness... he's better than I thought.

Can’t be helped. ( `he shrugs before letting his body fall on the bed, the soft pillows feels like heaven compared to the cold stone he has grown accustomed to these past few weeks ) I –– ( `he starts but his tongue feels dry and he swallows his words ) I can’t sleep. I don’t want to. ( `his words are frail, like the state he is in right now and he can’t help but scoff at the irony )

Bad dreams? [`/ he sits at the foot of the bed, playing with the hem of his robes, and indulging himself by relaxing his head against the soft mattress. he doesn't want to encourage Soryong to voice whatever he's thinking aloud, and become even paler, so shrugs it off. just in case his brother doesn't feel the shift, he clears his voice and carries on. ] Want me to fill you in? Or have you gotten round already. [`/ his lips tug into a small smile. ]

{’ seolhyun smiled behind the door and then opened it a crack so that she could peer in} do you think the bubble head will look good on me? {’ she almost thought about not doing it but given the situation she might be in, it was probably better to be safer rather than sorry}

[`/ he shakes his head playfully, opening the door and gesturing for her to come in. ] Thinking about it, maybe we should say no to the bubble head. [`/ it is, at worst, the flu. not gonna kill anyone, and Seol has a pretty strong immune system anyways. ] Come, come-- [`/ itching to kiss her, but staying true to abstaining in public, he jiggles his foot impatiently. ]

Ouch! ( `jerks violently before letting out s chuckle ) Careful there, fresh wound, brother. Don’t I look dashing though with war wounds like this? ( `winks with his right eye, his left neatly bandaged by seolhyun ) Mmm..potion…for what? ( `he lets out a slightly tired sigh, like he has lost hope ) Nah, I don’t really feel like eating. My guts won’t even accept water right now. ( `chuckles and ruffles daeryong’s hair ) you should eat though.
