Ros was odd sometimes. Nathan had the feeling he wasn't happy around most people, maybe it was because he couldn't help seeing them as food and having to fight his instincts, or maybe it was because he just wasn't very socialable, like Nathan himself. While he didn't have more contact to others than necessary though, besides his shop of course, Nathan picked a job and profession where he had to be around people, be in an office and talk to strangers. When he came home he looked tired and Nathan …

>Many things.<, Nathan simply answered, but he got the things he needed so he was content. For now he continued to look at the artifacts, which wasn't all too easy without his magic working properly. Once he needed a break he put the empty plate back in the kitchen and into the sink, then remembered about the laundry he made that needed another wash now, since no one got it out of the washing machine. Two rounds with the amounts of blood on it was probably better anyway. He didn't dare shove his…

It took a while until Nathans phone buzzed and there was only one person who'd write to him. >Some books. But I'd rather not have you break in.<, he answered. Nathan doubted Ros took his keys with him on a whim and even then, when he left his home and shop, he usually ramped up the security and that was something he was good at. He couldn't use magic right now, but he was able to pass through his seals as long as he had the right keys to unlock his door as well. >It's dangerous.<, he added. >I d…

Once Nathan closed his eyes he fell asleep almost immediately. He slept for the whole day and subsequent night, not even noticing Ros getting up himself again and walking around him or checking on him. He was fine besides the fact that he was incredibly tired and when he next woke up he needed to orient himself. "Ros?", he asked after sitting up, but got no answer. The door to his bedroom was open and when Nathan finally got up and checked he didn't see him there. He checked the kitchen next, al…

"Ugh, I didn't mean that literally...", Nathan sighed. Ros was exhausting and maybe it was better to drop all discussion, because this time Nathan couldn't even run away if it got too much for him. It had already been too much yesterday and the fact that they acted like it didn't happen was uncomfortable too. Nathan lay down more and turned off the TV, he saw what he wanted to see and his brain was not up for more and the noise it would make would drive him insane. He put the remote control on t…

"Fine.", Nathan simply answered. Ros knew he was right, now he just wanted to avoid admitting it. Fair enough, Nathan wasn't out for another fight, so he just shut his mouth. "Ros, you are insane if you think that I could survive such a wound whether it's on my left or right side. I would have just bled out right then and there and died." Ros wasn't necessarily something special for his resilience compared to other magical beings, but Nathan and other mages would have been dead and so would have…

"I know all that, but that is why I am saying you should eat more regularly and not prolong it. Especially if you have food at home. There'd been times were you didn't have any and while I was fine with dealing with you then, I don't think you wanted that. Also now is different too. For one, I am not always around and second, you're not exactly easy to deal with when you're hungry. Somehow I am not fit for food which is good I suppose, but that doesn't mean that goes for anyone else. What if a n…

Nathan listened to Ros explanation but it was a bit confusing. The carrot analogy was clearly not the best and Nathan was too much into fast food to care about quality. "So you want fresh meat instead, but not when you actually feel like eating, so you have to freeze it and then it tastes bad?", he tried to summarize what he just heard. "I mean if I only got to eat mushy cooked carrots, I'd probably eat less than I do anyway, but on the other hand, you know I rarely have an appetite, but I still…

"What is it then?", Nathan asked raising a brow but then quickly shook his head. "It's fine, I'm not entitled to those answers anymore." Not that he was given them when they were a couple. Right now however it was hardly his business at all. Ros could deal with his stuff on his own or talk to an actual friend. Nathan only came here because he wanted something and Ros gave more than he ever should have had to. "The soup is good, maybe a bit more salt." He rarely complained about Ros cooking who c…

"You don't have to wait for me to sleep, I won't disrupt you either. I can move to the bedroom if you want more distance." It wasn't dangerous, Nathan just knew Ros didn't want to be seen like this, even though they both knew what was happening and what he was eating. Surely it was someone who died of natural causes, or was dead anyway before Ros acquired their body. Nathan didn't judge, but that wasn't the point. "You don't have to be ashamed for what you need to survive and besides, you haven'…

"That's nice.", Nathan replied about Ros coworker and kept eating the soup he got. It didn't warm him up as much as he hoped it would. He was shivering and he felt like he would even if he sat himself into some fire. "Yeah I know...", Nathan mumbled and with the soup quickly gone leaned back again. He pulled the blanket around himself and made himself a little cocoon that would hopefully keep him warm. He pulled it all the over over his nose, just his eyes peeking out. He glanced at the artifact…

At least until the soup was done he should stay awake. He wasn't sure how easy it would be to wake him once he did and he rather warmed up beforehand. The tea Ros put on the table was a nice distraction, he nipped on it to keep himself awake and the warmth was nice, but almost too much on his cold skin. Nathan left the meat in the kitchen and only cleaned the blood off the floor. Ros should just eat if he was hungry, but he probably wouldn't. "If these things work like I think they do neither my…

"No, I don't, I rather have them know as little about both our involvement as possible. I appreciate you giving me those artifacts for now... and you are right about my failure of safekeeping too. I will sever the connection of my door as soon as I can... which might take a while." Right now he couldn't cast at all, not even a little bit. He hoped he would regenerate, but of course they didn't know how the artifact would effect him and Abaddon admitted to never having tried it on a mage either. …

Nathan turned and sat up a bit again when Ros came back only to get a cold hand pressed to his forehead once more. "I don't know if anyone is any safer like this... he can probably pull strings from inside a prison. What did they even get him for...? Do they know you and I were there?", Nathan wanted to know, forcing his brain to make sense of the world around him and the information he got. He changed position again, his hip and lower back hurt, probably from crashing into those chairs. There w…

Nathan tried to see clearly and blinked a few times, looking at Ros and his demeanor. Was he back to normal again? Well, not normal normal, but easier to talk to maybe. "You look... better...", he pointed out but probably couldn't say the same for himself. He sat up a bit, as best as he could. He wondered if he could use magic again, but not even attempting it, just raising his hand and looking at it, it shook quite obviously. Ros left for a moment or two and came back with some water and a myst…

Nathan was out cold, maybe not even sleeping, more like passed out with his brain and body having shut down to regenerate. The light in the bathroom was lit, it was bright the whole night, but it didn't bother him at all. He only slightly awoke when he felt his body move, not of his own volition. He tried to open his eyes, but his body refused even that. Sleep called him, clawed at him and ripped him from reality. Even in his now dream he was tired and unable to open his eyes, even though he so …

Nathan couldn't deal with Ros like this right now. It had been fine when they were a couple and Ros tugged on him, wrestled with him playfully and did things he normally never would have, but right now it was inappropriate and at the same time he was just like he always was, diminishing Nathans protest as if he had said something outlandish and was crazy for being so advert to 'just' a little closeness he never invited him to. Time and time again he had to tell himself that what Ros spouted wasn…

Ros eventually passed him, then came back and grabbed Nathan from behind. He stopped cleaning for the moment and bit his lower lip. There was not point trying to wrest free, he just wanted to be done with this that was all and then sleep, without a maniac with him that made him want to leave rather than stay. "You can't just do this...", he told Ros, "I'm not your boyfriend anymore. I shouldn't need to explain this to you of all people..." The stuck up over correct Ros who suddenly was not at al…

Ros was so different like this, not at all stuck up or bothered by appearances. He didn't care about logic or anything of that sort and he didn't worry about the future. As endearing as that was, it wasn't what Nathan needed come tomorrow or the days after and he felt bad for always claiming Ros to be denying himself but then relying on the persona he crafted for himself. His pull didn't do anything and Ros told him as much. "You're supposed to get up anyway.", he told him calmly, only to be yan…

Nathan didn't want to take too much time, so he got up eventually, grabbed a towel from one of the cupboards and quickly dried himself. He wasn't completely, especially his hair still carried water that dripped on the floor. He didn't want to spend more time than necessary though, so he wrapped the towel around his waste, then unlocked the door and went out. He looked at the floor, which was properly covered in blood stains by now, from the bathroom to the kitchen, then back into the hall were t…
