( * but enough , for the moment . Lips decend , laying gently upon cheek before he retreated himself , withdrew from overbearing clinginess )

..? ( * capturing him in peripheral, stare. attention, yes though insufficient to be satisfied. )

Draping an arm about @holyscorned waist , head thunking against his shoulder in quiet demand of some attention .

I carried Lord Phantomhive through pain to get to you again because i could not reach you .... and then my task was to get everyone off , to help those there .... and they died . Every single one of them ... even the children

( * a small shake of his head , eyes downcast despite Sebastian being before him )

There was such ... little knowledge on if we would get you back .. on that train . We went in with faith alone and somehow it worked ...

( * by gentle crane of head it decides then, to settle. kneel to sit, a parasol slow to shield the both of them. ) you 𝐥𝐨st yourself for a moment there. ( * there needn't be a need to

I slipped , i spiraled . I became the man i once was before i took up Agni . I drank , i smoke , i moved on autopilot without care or thought for anything other than to keep the manor upright ... on the chance youd return and have a home to come to ...

And then the train —

It is not ... that simple , Sebastian .

I am thankful you have returned home , so very thankful and the relief is immense ... but there are things that happened i cannot ... move so easily past .

( * a sigh , shaking his head as he massaged a thumb into bandaged hand )

[༉ ` 𐍂EQUIEM for ᵗʰᵉ ( 𝒟𝖆𝖒𝗻𝗲𝗱 ) @holyscorned]

I can imagine that. ( * again, a pause. clear that there be a sense of thoughtfulness in constructed words. ) Uncertainty tends to be frightening. Have your worries gone away, now that

[࣪ ִֶָ☾. @kalisblessed]

⠀
I thought — ...

( * would it even matter to display these feelings ? Perhaps , perhaps not . Agni took a gamble nonetheless )

I thought you were never going to come back ... perhaps that is silly of me but ... i mourned you , for weeks i mourned you ...
⠀

[༉ ` 𐍂EQUIEM for ᵗʰᵉ ( 𝒟𝖆𝖒𝗻𝗲𝗱 ) @holyscorned]

... Ah, ( * a break. pausing to think. ) I believe that returning to a routine would be the best action. I apologize if I seemed cowardly.

[࣪ ִֶָ☾. @kalisblessed]

⠀
Well you returned , acted as if nothing at all happened and i have not had any ounce of time to speak to you , as if youve been avoiding such conversations

I thought we were on the page of the book that we would not talk about it ? Given the fact everything has continued on as it normally should with no regard for much else ?

( * a sweet smile , though it never quite reached his eyes before he went back to cloud gazing )
⠀

[༉ ` 𐍂EQUIEM for ᵗʰᵉ ( 𝒟𝖆𝖒𝗻𝗲𝗱 ) @holyscorned]

You tend to stare some days as well.

[࣪ ִֶָ☾. @kalisblessed]

⠀
Youre staring

( * turning his gaze away to face the sky once more , eyes closing )

[༉ ` 𐍂EQUIEM for ᵗʰᵉ ( 𝒟𝖆𝖒𝗻𝗲𝗱 ) @holyscorned]

Of course. ( * Silence, trailing off to prolonged, unsubtle stare. ) ... ... ...
