oh soulless scoundrel being partly bc caeru left is gonna KILL her. her bat...
imagining caeru coming home and seeing the scoundrel curled up on the couch and sighing and ruffling his hair and muttering vague reassurances because she assumes he's moping about being rejected by his coworkers again. and then he looks up at her with hazy eyes and the most lifeless frown she's ever seen. and she Knows. and she immediately goes into panic mode but the scoundrel simply turns around and leaves her to her fretting. he doesn't have the energy to fret with her.
