🗣 hmm Aderae and Thanat……
Hm.
Send me a (🗣️) + two muses on my blog, and I’ll make them have a conversation whether they know each other or not!
--
Fancy a trip to the past?
“You did what?” Anger so rarely enters your tone, it makes the sound of your own voice ring out in your ears. It feels foreign. Are you even angry?
Thanat doesn’t seem to react to your anger. He hardly registers that the two of you are even having a conversation. He has his back to you, focused squarely on the notes in his hands. “I threw her out. Sent her home.” His answer was so simple, not a care in the world beyond his nonsensical cure. You just might be the only person on Alternia that didn’t go starting fights with forces outside of anyones hands. The simplicity of his answer shakes something loose in your chest, and a growl begins to take its place.
“Nehali took leave to spend time with him, Thanat.” You say, indignance mounting. “He wants to see her.”
“She was stressing him out, Aderae.” His response is chastising, he means to admonish you. He casts a glance over his shoulder to gauge your reaction, and your expression must betray you because he shrugs his shoulders before turning away again. “Do I need to throw you out until you’ve calmed down?”
“Do you suppose that you can?”
At your words, Thanat finallys sets the pages he was looking at to the side and stands, he is about a head taller than you. The distance never feels so significant than when the two of you argued.
When he turns to face you, the grimace he holds could get a man to jump out of his skin. Well, if the man was anyone other than you.
You blink back at him.
“You seem tired, Thanat. Have you slept?”
He pauses for a moment to get a real good look at you, you guess. The silence lingers for a while, he had such a way of making silences feel so uncomfortable. Heavy, even.
Your irritation continues to mount, but you’ve found a way to level your tone. Somehow.
He does not answer your question.
“You should take a break.”
Silence again.
“Thanat, this isn’t healthy.”
“Are we going to have a problem, Aderae?”
You roll your eyes as you take a step back, taking an opportunity to stare at him in a disapproving manner. But.. The anger never comes when you set your eyes on him. He’s disheveled, and sad, and scared. Aren’t you? You are. God, you are.
You take a deep breath as you move toward him again. Thanat Lycaon is a pain in your ass.
You wrap your arms around him and, before he gets the opportunity to protest, pull him into a tight embrace.
Very briefly Thanat goes rigid, then he relaxes against you.
“Oh,Than, we have so many already.”
