[He hasn't moved an inch since Nene left: good leg pulled up, arms wrapped around his knee, face buried in his arms... he already cried himself out, barely moving now that there's nothing left to release. How long has been here, alone by the riverside? His white pants are going to be stained...

He doesn't move... but there's a flinch at Elsword's voice, the tiniest shift when he sits down next to him. His throat feels dry and raw.]

... I want to know you. Let's start over. [thin, fragile words, barely whispered on a breath... but they aren't for Elsword. the person he meant to hear them is already gone.

he's drawn into warm arms, only now realizing how cold he is out here by the river... he leans in to the warmth, face rubbing against Elsword's chest, feeling the thump of his blood against his ear. he wants to stay like this, wrapped up in strong arms and soft feathers...

ah... that's right. he left the meeting. that's why Elsword is here.]


It's not your fault. [he still sounds hoarse... but he's calm. maybe a little too calm, but he's run out of energy for everything else. all that's left are the simple facts.] I don't care about that anymore. You were right.

[the photo did make him upset. he should've listened.]
