in a different world...

Adds one more spike. “I’m done.”

         ‘’..... I feel stupid.‘’

‘’A diet? But you’re already so thin!’’ Yunan replied. ‘’Did you choose to go on one, or do you have to be on a diet?’’ 

         ‘’ Oh, dad. It was a joke, I don’t need to be on a diet! ‘’

          “Oh, inthat case, you may go if you wish. I can keep on by myself.” Until she finallypasses out, that is.

    “It’s fine! I don’t need sleep—everything’s fine!” Notice that her hands are shaking as she says this.

          He really wanted to get her to sleep... but, man, was he tired. ‘’ OK, well I need to sleep. ‘’

Yunan laughed. ‘’Do you eat anything else at all?’’ He knew he did, but he was merely teasing, knowing how much Judal loved peaches. 

           ‘’ Nope, it’s a strict diet! Frankly, I’m OK with it! ‘’ Judal teased back as they headed towards the food stands that had fish. Ironic.

         ..this time Judal just listened and pushed himself to press a kiss on his cheek. ‘’ I’m here though, okay.. ‘’

          ‘’ That’s not petty, Sinbad. Your mind is nothing to take lightly. ‘’ Judal rested his head on the older male’s shoulder.

          ‘’ I’m here, Sinbad. That’s all you need to remember, Ja’far is here, I’m here, it will all be ok.. ‘’ He whispered into Sinbad’s ear, gently rocking him. ‘’ I love you and every thing is going to be alright. ‘’

          Pulling the monarch close to him, Judal whispered, ‘’ I’ll be here. I won’t let you fall victim to your mind. ‘’

               “Glad you think so. Hey… you wanna grab something to eat?                   I’ve never met a Magi in person before… It’d be nice to get                  to know you better.”

          ‘’ Why not? Do you know anywhere good? ‘’

          ‘’ Tell me what it is, Sinbad. What has bothered you so? ‘’
