"...eh? You sure you don't want some?" He sways, drunken smile adorning his lips as he offers the half quenched bottle of ale to her. It's a night that Python wants to sleep and hopefully that night would be one of those.
♡ @arrowake!!
silence lies on her lips. the goddess has no rebuttal nor is she looking for one. ( the choice was not difficult to begin with anyhow. ) she tries to comprehend his behavior but her gaze directed at him is still as distant as ever. questioning his actions does not interest her. without knowing what to do, she smoothly pats the empty spot besides her, the thick blanket she rested on enough for him to take place near the fire.
rigel is cold & she tucks with insistence to the cloak unto her skin. it is warm, but no where near the comfort the sun could only provide. python babbles & she’s unsure if she understands what human nonsense he says or if it’s the alcohol who makes him incomprehensible. she thinks it’s probably a mix between the two.
slowly, a smile etches itself on her smooth lips as she fathoms now the reason why he indulged in ale. taking away his bottle from his hand, she coaxes him to lay down & places his head on her knees. how childish! drunk humans are just like babies; they don’t make sense, can’t walk straight & can’t keep the entirety of what they stomach. you would laugh at the comparison but mila finds it strange. the snake talks & dragon listens as she pets his midnight hair, like a mother would. python is bizarre & harder than the rest of his kin to understand, & ironically, his alienation towards those he should consider brothers & sisters is of comfort to her. she, too, is different after all, yet the whole ordeal is far more complicated than that.
python would never know that she used magic to lull him to sleep. suffering shouldn’t be a part of life & a good night rest is the least she can offer him, a young man she came to appreciate & silently took under her wings. smile warms the features that recently paled under rigel’s gray skies, as she delicately covers him with one of her fuzzy blankets.
❛ sleep well, dear python. please, dream some wonderful dreams for me. ❜
