((from Here))

[adjusting the ice pack and squeezing your shoulder before departing quickly. will be in his cabin should you want to go looking]

[tis_allgood]

[still feeling really fuzzy, but determined to go after you, stumbling outside and headed toward your cabin]

[rockinurzen]

[sitting in his cabin like he's waiting for you]

[tis_allgood]

[coming in before he really knows what he's doing, head still hurting]

[rockinurzen]

[sitting quietly but watching closely]

[tis_allgood]

I cry your pardon. [bowing low to you]

[rockinurzen]

[hand on your shoulder, still silent but smiling gently]

[tis_allgood]

[deep shuddering breath]

I must be the most difficult student you've ever been forced to deal with. I... am deeply sorry.

[rockinurzen]

I treasure even the difficult moments... though sometimes after the fact. I would not give up this chance to teach you for anything.

[tis_allgood]

[can't hold his tears back]

You mustn't say that. You are supposed to punish me and send me away until I can remember myself. Not make my heart hurt for thee.

[rockinurzen]

Oh Bert...

[grabbing you in a one-armed hug and making you sit next to him] For this, you need no more punishment than you're already giving yourself.

[tis_allgood]

[holding onto you and crying harder now, letting out a lot of the frustration and pain he's been keeping in lately]

[rockinurzen]

[holding you and letting you cry it out]

[tis_allgood]

[crying is mostly over now, just a lot of deep breathing and keeping his face hidden]

You are too good to me.

[rockinurzen]

[still holding] I don't see it that way.

[tis_allgood]

[another deep breath, then a long sigh]

May I stay here tonight? Just tonight... I could use the comfort. I do not feel myself today.
