what does loyalty mean to you?
[It's too hard to tell if it's night or a day when you're living underground. But here, Stareater moves along deepslate corridors smoothly and quickly. Each sharp stone under his foots feels long familiar. Right here, where redstones machines never sleeps, where villagers mumble all days and nights long, he almost feels at home.
Pleasant darkness, weak flickering of torches. And in this base that feels so empty despite all the life in it, the only person Zan is truly trusts finds their peace.
Chips, with her nose buried in the blanket, sleeps in their only bed, which is not even hidden - but it's enough to make sure the other one is safe from almost every point of their base. Stareater allows her to rest as much as she need, to gain strength back, and while he work for hours he can stop sometimes and let the feeling of not being alone truly bloom inside his chest.
Loyalty? Loyalty is like a wound that never heals. You let it fester, let it be. A wound that you dig your fingernail into to feel that aching feeling of life and love.
She can just stand there, smiling and warm, and give him orders - and he will do it. He is self-sufficient, he knows what he wants from life, but this nagging feeling inside leaves him next to Chips, like a well-behaved dog he is.
Loyalty is just a single word, but he find it too charming. Being loyal to the death is so romantic!]
