.. mm . me and my brother used to * love the carnival—— he’s .. he’s a lot like you .

( a few vigorous blinks from the mug;; these * nightmares were still difficult to grasp . seeing how innocent they were —- how innocent his * brother was .. it makes him sick to see the younger sitting there , )

who’re waiting for ?

make sure you’re .. set for the night until i hit the hay . I don’t want you to be awake alone , anyway .

( inviting the idea of staying up with his other half——— now resting upon the foot of the bed . )

( then , maybe , he’d devote himself to a higher up——- but for now , nothing had come to save them—— so he shall not waste his time on make believe figures . )

i want to make sure you’re alright first .

( a nod is given . )

i’m swell , cup . swear on it . they’ve got me set up real nice——— it’s .. odd . quiet without you snoring like a mad man .

( a light joke—— only to ease the nerves . )

( if only he knew what his brother was up to . maybe , if he did , he would join him——— but to mugman , praying is something cuphead would never do;; not in a million years . it’s not like him . )

doesn’t do any good sitting on the ground like this .

( ignoring the part about resting . truthfully , he hasn’t been able to rest well away from the cup . )

[‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ 𝐌U͜͡𝐆S𝘠 @COllECTORON3]

( optics trail down to his hands——- curious , perhaps he’s hiding something . it looks as such .. once again , cautious steps are taken towards his brother . )

mmmm .. thought as such———

Atleast they’ve got you up and kicking again .. I’m sure they can find something else for the pain .

cmon——- let’s get you up .
