“Hey,” murmurs Trooper as he comes into Paladin’s room. “I brought you tea.”
“Tea won’t help,” Paladin whispers. “He’s gone.”
Trooper doesn’t have to ask who ‘he’ is. There’s only one ‘he’ Paladin has been talking about for the past month or so. Ever since Chaser died, Paladin has been absolutely inconsolable, only rousing himself once to make an announcement to all of Hamel that he was abdicating his position to Trooper.
Now Trooper has to juggle Paladin’s responsibilities, his own, Chaser’s, and taking care of Paladin. He’s done harder things for less reward, he’s sure, but he just can’t think of any instances right now.
But that’s beside the point. He sets down the tea and embraces Paladin from behind. Paladin doesn’t react.
“It’ll get better,” Trooper reassures him. “I promise.”
“You can’t promise that.” Paladin bows his head. “You can’t promise anything.”
Trooper doesn’t respond, feeling his heart flutter painfully in its cage of bones. With Paladin like this, how long will it be before he can safely confess his love?
