wordless command .
❝ Thank you. ❞ Soft murmured words as his wounds are tended to with the meticulousness that only comes from routine, smile distant but present in the embrace of a fireplace’s warmth. There’s a lot in the mind. ❝ I apologize for... ❞
Crimsons blink away the blurriness of exhaustion, a heavy yawn escaping him as he’s swayed deeper into sluggishness, but oh, he has so much to do. Lethargic eyes look up, breathing soft, and he’s momentarily distracted by her presence and... A swallow. Is it tiring to stay beside me ?
What a thought, but as he continues to observe her, the familiarity of it all strikes a disorienting feeling inside of his chest, smile falling into a flat line as he attempts to get a bearing of himself. Dizzying. ❝ … Giving you such a scare earlier. ❞ You’ve always stayed. ❝ I promise I’ll attempt to at least give you a warning next time. ❞
The liveliness of this place has burnt to soot, does it not exhaust you ? The thickness in the air, the emptiness on the walls, the lack of them. There are no voices where there once where, no jests and bickering, no exasperated reprimanding, no running footsteps in the dew of night rousing the entire household, no Kaeya, no Crepus, nothing but you and me.
A cough, the tightening of a throat and he closes his eyes. Hm. ❝ Perhaps I ought to retire for the night ? ❞
