& ┊ @regalvs ( for bray. )
THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING. luke is used to moments of silence from bray ( though, it didn’t happen too often, ) but he definitely isn’t used to seeing the man so TAKEN APART. ripped violently at the seams and stolen from so completely ---- save for the belt he still holds, but touches as if it were poisonous. luke isn’t used to it, and he hates that he even still cares, especially with the metaphorical blood of abigail on his hands. he may have seemed like nothing more than a mindless puppet, but she hadn’t meant the world to bray alone.
they were called a FAMILY for a reason. ‘ your brother, your blood, ’ he says, voice calm despite the rage that wants to bubble up, how he wants to be bitter and mocking. bray is the broken shell of a man, at the moment, and even though the words will forever haunt his deepest insecurities, he won’t actively make this any harder for bray. ‘ pick yourself up. that had been my home, too, my family, but crying about it won’t kill the viper. ’
