Asa;
They watch him like he is made of glass. At first, I found it fascinating, but now, it's just… infuriating.
Why can't they leave him alone for one moment! Just one!!! Aren't these the brothers people claimed were usually cold and distant!? What happened now?? In a span of how long, they've bothfallen in love with him??
Nonsense!
Zerana keeps her voice low and contained as she guides Elian through stretches meant to soften joints and coax patience into a body that seems to have never known how to stay still.
Zethar and Zephan sit in the distance, pretending to be at leisure, but I can tell that despite looking so… casual, they are watching him. Like fucking… guardians... Fucking barriers.
I hate barriers.
Elián straightens, laughter spilling from him as he shakes out his arms. The sound lands in my chest with a dull, unwelcome weight. And for a moment, my steps falter.
His words come back to me uninvited.
