@saviata​   sent   :    “ it’s like you’re not really here; even when you are. "

for a moment, zagreus is utterly speechless. he doesn't know how to address that loneliness and to know that he's inflicted such a horrid feeling on yuna. so he stares, eyes wide, and mouth slightly open ; his shock and speechlessness so plain. it's all in a split second that, perhaps he should finally put down what he's doing  (  even if he had just started  -  their conversation taking priority over something he can always come back to  ).  when he does, zagreus could only lean forward in his seat, elbows on his knees and hands tented in thought.  ❛  i ...  ❜  was it something he's done? or how he's been behaving lately? the godling doesn't know, and frankly, he doesn't notice how he's behaved as of late. 

everything has felt so ... distant? blank? monotonous? he has no specific word for it.

            “   thank you .   ”

      is all he says at first ,  his daughter asleep in his arms as he carefully and gently swayed from side to side to keep her resting well .  he doesn’t look at the woman in question ,  however ,  his gaze on the one sleeping ,  fingers caressing her rather chubby cheek a little bit .

      but when he does look ,  he asks :   “   would you like to hold her ?   ”

" if there's anything missing, i'd be happy to recount it aloud! " she's practically antsy in her seat, her smile growing and her eyes practically sparkling with excitement as she waits for a chance to tell captain unohana the things she got to see in the human world.

The princess' eyes slowly fluttered open as she sat up, Hibiya jumping at closing the distance between them with the best sign of consciousness Yuna showed so far. There was clear relief and panic on her features as reality came to view, and Hibiya wasn't far off from feeling the same.

The panic hit him differently than the typical freeze and deal with it; that special fucked up way his mind liked to shoot himself in the foot. He was restless, pacing around the room and glancing over to the once unconscious Yunaeisha at every little noise. It could be his end if something happened to a guest in his home, let alone a foreign princess with father that was seen as vengeful and violent to those who dared cross him. Was she paler than normal? Surely this couldn't have been as suddenly as it felt for her to just topple over. There had to have been signs he missed.

When Yuna lunged at him for comfort, Hibiya immediately moved closer, sitting on the couch she laid on. "Hey woahwoahwoah - stop." He tried to prevent her from getting up before her body was ready to properly do so. "Just take it slow, you're okay. You blacked out when we were in the garden. But, a doctor’s on his way, so it’s best we just stay here for now." He did his best to talk slowly, but it was easier said than done for the both of them. Had she not been drinking enough water? Was her dress too tight? Not sleeping enough? Stress?

Smiles all around, forced kindness and passive laughs.

Hibiko had without a doubt brought this onto herself. And with an uncharacteristic glee coming from Yuna, it was clear she planned on ignoring the princess' silent pleas for help: for Yuna to do the awkward job of coming up with an excuse to get the princess away from the rambling elderly man. It was endless, just one pointless tidbit after another. She spoke up to answer if the product was any good, and now for some reason she was learning about his daughter's retirement plan.
