And another loud sigh, finally moving to return to his bed.

Wiggling his fingers in grabby hands.

“Just shut up!”

[ᴀᴀʀɪᴄ ɢʀᴀʏᴄᴀꜱᴛʟᴇ @HeirUnspoken]

“I will not, this is a one time thing.”

[𝓐𝓢𝓟𝓔𝓝 @bisexualflyer]

“Promise. Never ever again.”

Grinning as he mutters under his breath. L

“You will be asking next.”

-squeeze of reassurance.

“Fath—” He catches himself, giving a faint cough.

“The king. He orders emotionless cadets, brainwashed warriors who follow every order blindly. Don’t be one of the blind. Don’t bottle up all these emotions until there’s nothing left of you.”

[ᴀᴀʀɪᴄ ɢʀᴀʏᴄᴀꜱᴛʟᴇ @HeirUnspoken]

“That’s what they fear. They fear emotions playing a key role in this war. They’re afraid they’ll lose their power over us if we let the sadness building inside us show, if we let the anger spill out.” He starts, taking her hand in his and giving it a faint-

He glanced toward her, his expression gentle.

“And that’s okay. You don’t have to pretend it doesn’t hurt.”

[ᴀᴀʀɪᴄ ɢʀᴀʏᴄᴀꜱᴛʟᴇ @HeirUnspoken]

He listened, taking in everything she was saying as he nodded slowly.

He understood her more than she could have known—he’d been through something similar with his own brother, though the circumstances had been different. Loss always left a void, one that could never truly be-

“I’m not here to make excuses for him. I personally wasn’t there, so I don’t know what went down,” he admitted, shifting himself farther over on the bed before patting the open space beside him.

“But it hurts, doesn’t it?” His voice softened. “He’s gone,-

[ᴀᴀʀɪᴄ ɢʀᴀʏᴄᴀꜱᴛʟᴇ @HeirUnspoken]

-I’m fighting for my life over here. One wrong move and I’m fairly certain she’ll have me executed.”

“Oh? I didn’t realize Andarna liked broccoli.” Aaric joked, holding up the growing kitten before settling him more comfortably in his lap.

“You sure you don’t want to take over babysitting duty for a while? I’m cramping up down here, and Drake gave me very clear instructions-

A smile touched her lips at the sight of him scratching the cat's ear.
“ He's really cute. ”

Her smile vanished instantly as she rolled her eyes... a dead giveaway that she was talking to her dragons.

“Apparently, my legs are now part of the furniture.”

Aaric shifted the slightest bit, only to wince dramatically.

“See?-

[ᴀᴀʀɪᴄ ɢʀᴀʏᴄᴀꜱᴛʟᴇ @HeirUnspoken]

Long, exaggerated sigh.

“If I let you, this ONCE, will you never ask again?”

[ᴀᴀʀɪᴄ ɢʀᴀʏᴄᴀꜱᴛʟᴇ @HeirUnspoken]

Aaric’s expression softened, and he gave a quiet nod at her words.

“No more, then. I promise.” His voice was gentle as he made a small zipping motion across his lips before flicking an invisible key away.

His gaze lingered on her for a moment, concern settling into his-

her hands fisted the blanket beneath her. sleep. "i sleep enough," she lied. but the open bunks laid out all her vulnerable movements.

“I don’t cuddle my friends?”

[𝓐𝓢𝓟𝓔𝓝 @bisexualflyer]

“Why not? Friends can cuddle.”

[ᴀᴀʀɪᴄ ɢʀᴀʏᴄᴀꜱᴛʟᴇ @HeirUnspoken]

“I don’t cuddle.”

[𝓐𝓢𝓟𝓔𝓝 @bisexualflyer]

“Come back ! I brought your favorite snacks.”

He whines with a pout settling onto his face.
