"It's okay. I'll get better. I'm sure the headache subsides in a few days." Hopefully, but his head would recover and so would the rest of his body. It would probably take up to a month or even more for the broken bones to heal though. But that didn't mean he wouldn't be able to move around in here before that." I'll probably not be much help anytime soon. They liked to climb the curtains of my bed too. This place is much more empty, but also warmer, so I assume they'll hide less under the blank…

"That's nice of you, I just don't know if I can concentrate on anything right now.", Richard replied with a pained smile. The thought of reading a book alone gave him another headache on top of the one he already had and pulling a tiny string through a needle sounded equally as taxing. "We should get them some hiding places and maybe something to play with." The kittens were probably bored, but at least they had each other. There was already a fur layed out in front of the fireplace for them to …

Yujin didn't take long to come in and it smelled a bit like food from the outside. "I just can't sleep anymore.", he told him. He tried the whole day and now he felt like it was futile. One of the cats tried to escape to the outside, but Yujin caught it. "Anything dangerous for them outside?", he asked, wondering if they'd be able to roam the whole hut, or would remain in this room. "What are we missing?", he asked. Richard could do with some distraction. He could use his hands, but that was abo…

Richard agreed to call if he needed anything, but for now he simply wanted to be alone and have some peace and quiet. Every position he could put his body in hurt. He couldn't lie on his side and his back was battered and bruised. His head hurt too as well as his spine and he just hoped moving here didn't break or misalign anything. One of the cats thought it was a good idea to venture onto his chest, which just made him cough and move it off. He wasn't mad, of course not, those were kittens and…

Yujin did what Richard asked of him and set the basket with the kittens on his bed. They slowly ventured out, more confident once they spotted Richard. One of them came to cuddle and wanted comfort after what just happened and Richard obliged, slowly raising his hand on his stomach and like this he was able to at least wiggle his fingers to give the cat much needed attention. The other one was more daring and started to examine the bed and all the furs and smells it had on it, but neither of the…

Yujin did what Richard asked of him. It hurt and he was frustrated that once more he was at the mercy of others, unable to do anything himself. He wanted to be able to go out the castle gates on his own, brave the world because he felt better and stronger, not be carried out like a sack of potatoes and strung around by others, in this case Yujin. Maybe it would have been healthy getting there himself, much as it would have maybe helped to go to the hut on his own and face his fears. He was put o…

Richard appreciated the thought and he appreciated that Yujin wanted to get away from here, from everyone, to live his own life without being controlled or threatened, but at the same time Richard felt like the move to the hut was rushed and not to his benefit. He could probably make it there and whether he suffered in bed here or someplace else didn't matter. Still, it felt like moving him one day after he fell out a window was a bit much and he wasn't sure if Yujin was doing it for himself, or…

"If he wants to.", Richard reminded Yujin and he also accepted him being not so sure if he wanted to talk to Quan. All Richard cared about was that he didn't lay there in his hut, slowly dying because who knew what Xu did. If Yujin wanted his death as well, it was hardly Richards place to intervene, but at least it should be quick and merciful. "Are you shady?", he then asked Yujin with a smile. The move to the hut was all but confirmed as well it seemed. Richard was still unsure about it, he di…

"Well in my last letter I asked him to talk. There is some things we can't talk about over letter. I he wants that he'll either come here or send someone to bring me back." And if it was the latter, Richard would just take Yujin with him. Should he write to Dayan again? Tell him that he got injured? Maybe that was too much. Yujin cuddled closer and Richard just wanted to have him next to him, even if it hurt a little. "Maybe, but... I don't know. There has been enough death I think and I don't t…

"I just... wanted more time with you and Dayan too. I thought he died. He didn't, but I am so far away from him.", Richard tried to explain. He might cause him trouble he knew, but still, he missed him and Nayantai. He already lost half of his family, why would he throw away the rest too? He wanted to go home so badly, partly because Silesse seemed much less welcoming the past couple weeks. When Yujin talked about Quan like that he looked up at him with a surprised look on his face. "Took care o…

"I... I'm doing better mentally... as weird as it sounds.", Richard let out and added an apologetic and slightly confused smile. He was just so done with being pushed around and being scared of everything. If not for the time in Olette, maybe he wouldn't have been able to defend himself against Xu. Maybe it just made him stronger instead of the opposite. Yujin told him he'd come to bed shortly, but he still didn't and Richard could not make him. "I mean it sounds like he believes that Xu incited…

"Yeah you, by being under my blanket...", Richard mumbled half jokingly. Apparently Yujin brought the kittens over, which made sense, Richards room was a crime scene and no place for them, or Richard. "I am cold, but it's alright..." He wasn't used to not having a fireplace. Yujins room, which he assumed he was in, was much colder. He spent the night here before, but with Yujin by his side after all. "That's alright... what's the official story then? Why were you even there...?" Now that he thou…

Richard was incredibly happy hearing Yujins voice and soon enough looked to his side to see Yujin poke his head in. "Why are you not next to me?", he grumbled, trying to make light of the situation. At this point it was probably useless to keep appearances anyway, so why the hell did Yujin not cuddle him? Turning his head though was a mistake. His neck felt stiff, his throat hurt and when he moved too much a sting ran up his spine and it felt like a nail was hammering into his brain. The questio…

Richard only knew it was Yujin standing there when he came closer and quickly put his hands on him. For a moment Richard had feared it was Quan, who helped Xu do his dirty work once more, but no. Relieved all the tenseness left Richards body and his limbs grew weak. He took a breather without being able to process everything right now. He groaned when Yujin picked it up, but bit most of it back. He was used to this kind of, it was nothing knew, even though he didn't know how much damage was done…

Richard soon saw a blurry figure crawling towards him. His own body barely obeyed. He lacked strength but the adrenaline kicked in. He didn't want to die, especially not like this and he felt pain like that before, it wouldn't stop him so easily. Richard tried to lift himself up, sharp pain coursing through every single bone in his body. He was shaking as he managed to get his bearings, only to be pushed back down to the ground by Xu. He glared at him, not with fear, but anger, for trying someth…

Richard was happy about how the night went, about reconciling with Yujin and spending time with him, especially like that. He was so stupid and weak for just letting him go and maybe it was the guilt and regret that made him chase after Quan the day before. He's also been stupid for not letting Yujin closer. Why was yesterday different? Was it really the things Quan said to him? Well it wasn't like he understood any of it, but facing someone so much stronger than him had never felt easier. Of co…

Richard couldn't let Yujin stay, he knew and he also knew not to draw any suspicions. Obviously the two of them were stupid enough to sneak into each others rooms from time to time as they did before when Richard also wasn't supposed to be here and Yujins father didn't quite like him. How rude of him, Richard didn't understand why Nayantai called him his friend and his 'permission' for them to stay here in a lousy hut away from the actual village was definitely not needed. What a prick. It was d…

Yujin was still the silly old him, but there was also something more mature around him now, something more serious. Richard couldn't quite pinpoint it, even in these moments where he was silly and teasing, it felt a bit different, as if he had grown up over night and it made his confession seem more real, more informed, not the ramblings of a man that didn't even remember what happened two weeks ago. Richard liked that man too, but he couldn't help but think that if he only knew all of what tran…

"I chose to leave alone, not you.", Richard reminded him. If Yujin had found out, if he had ran after them, Richard would have turned back, to bring him to where he was safe. At least he thought he was safe here at the time, or at least decided that his problems where the bigger ones and more important to deal with. Chasing after the dead instead of the living, how silly and yet Richard could not forget who was taken from him, even if Dayan at least was still alive. When Yujin started his poetic…

"You never did.", Richard answered while he enjoyed Yujins warm hands and the hot breath brushing over his skin. In a way this always felt better when he was cold like that, when Yujin simply kept him warm and heated up the air under their blanket by just being very obviously a Silessian. He used their time together as an escape and maybe it was still so, but even then, he waited for this way too long. His mind and body didn't always align, when they tried before Richard chickened out, but not t…
