[023] Twenty-Third Fall [accidental video]

[adeptible]

[There aren't any songs this time. He's run out of them. There isn't much to say about anything, either. Empty rooms that echoed around him, and knowing what the both of them were going back to... One dead already and one getting ready to enter a world where death was waiting around every turn of the path. No, it would not end happily for

[Seeing the video Zevran makes his way home, slipping inside quietly so as not to disturb Starwind's moment of silence. He places a hand on Starwind's shoulder, trying his best to offer comfort.]

[suaveleather]

Would you like to remain here for the evening or should we retire to bed?

[For once there are no sexual undertones to the offer.]

action

[adeptible]

Either.

[He isn't likely to do much sleeping anyway.]

action

[suaveleather]

Then we will spend the night here.

[He is more than willing to spend the evening with his arms around his lover, comforting him.]

action

[adeptible]

[He just snuggles closer, still not letting go. It'll take more than a lot to get him to, at this point.]

Thank you, ke'chern.

action

[suaveleather]

[He has no intention of letting go.]

You are welcome, my love.

action

[adeptible]

Mm. I like hearing that, I think.

action

[suaveleather]

Oh? You are welcome?

[He smirks, an eyebrow raising.]

action

[adeptible]

No. "Love."

action

[suaveleather]

It has become easier to say with time. [And the urge to run away has mostly gone away. If only because he doesn't want to ever see Starwind upset again.]

action

[adeptible]

It usually does. [He really is grateful for that.]

action

[suaveleather]

[He only grins and runs a hand through Starwind's hair.]

[adeptible]

[Starwind takes the moment to breathe and calm himself down, eyes closed, but nowhere near sleeping, head still resting on Zevran's shoulder.]

...thank you, ashke.

action

[suaveleather]

You are welcome as always, my love.

[He continues the petting absentmindedly, his muscles relaxing after a long day. Just holding Starwind is relaxing.]

action

[adeptible]

I do not believe I can thank you enough for all you have done for me.

action

[suaveleather]

Hm? I should be the one saying that to you. [He grins.] You have made me into a better person.
