Thank you! I’m happy to know my work at the Library and everyone’s support has been of good use to you and your fandom experience. You are very sweet, I really appreciate this a lot.

Recovering after the events that took place at Rhalgr's Reach is both a mental and physical hurdle for Karma. He hates being idle and has been forced to rest or else risk opening the stitches spanning from his stomach down to his hip. Fucker broke a sword on him. He doesn't care if Zenos is the crown prince of Garlemald and wiped the floor with him—he's going to kill him next time they meet.

It's only fair, really.

For now, however, he's stuck waiting for his body to heal. Y'shtola is amongst the wounded and whenever the healers come to check on him, he is stubborn in his insistence they tend to her instead. Honestly, he wishes they'd leave him alone; he's still so angry about his own shortcomings, about how he wasn't strong enough to prevent all of this from happening.

Karma is left to simmer in his frustrations, to stare at the same four walls, sometimes the ceiling if he's feeling particularly adventurous, until the healers deem him well enough to be released. He thinks this is all a waste of time because while he may not feel the best, the wound itself is healing nicely and shows no signs of infection.

He would know because he pokes and prods at it all day.

(He has nothing better to do with his time.)

The door slams shut with enough force it rattles on its hinges. Karma tries very, very hard not to sigh. He doesn't succeed because staring up at him is Zenos, his amusement obvious in the slight upturn of his reddened, kiss-swollen lips, the narrowing of his eyes.

He's so unbelievably smug. It's infuriating.

"I hate you," Karma tells him genuinely, muttering choice expletives under his breath as he climbs off of Zenos' lap and makes for the door. Zenos has nothing to say for himself—then again, he hasn't been able to speak since he awoke restrained to a bed in Ala Mhigo, bandages wrapped so thick around his neck they threaten suffocation, the wound underneath still on the mend, not yet fully healed.

Surprise, surprise, slicing open your own throat has consequences.

(As does keeping secrets you shouldn't be keeping.)

sure thing!! thanks for leaving a request! ^^
