oh soulless scoundrel being partly bc caeru left is gonna KILL her. her bat...
imagining caeru coming home and seeing the scoundrel curled up on the couch and sighing and ruffling his hair and muttering vague reassurances because she assumes he's moping about being rejected by his coworkers again. and then he looks up at her with hazy eyes and the most lifeless frown she's ever seen. and she Knows. and she immediately goes into panic mode but the scoundrel simply turns around and leaves her to her fretting. he doesn't have the energy to fret with her.
#he might feel a bit of resentment tbh.#this is just one more step in a long pattern of caeru leaving him for extended periods of time#first it was their honeymoon. then christmas. then valentines day. then hallowmas. over and over and over again#she just...#hasn't been here.#now something happens when she isn't there to stop it and NOW she wants to apologize for neglecting him?#normal scoundrel would make up a bullshit rationalization. soulless scoundrel...#soulless scoundrel just feels numb.#ask
