Richard put Dayans letter back into his sleeve and then turned his head a little to look at Yujin, but his neck refused to budge and everything felt stiff and hurt, his muscles protecting the cracked bones underneath. He nodded slightly, he was ready to go, then looked at the cross still in his lap. "Oh... nothing I guess." He hadn't thought that far ahead but it felt wrong to just throw it away, it felt like throwing away Dayan in an odd way. Nayantai had carved names into them. Richard missed …

Richard didn't know how to make everyone happy and it seemed impossible to be close to Dayan and Yujin at the same time. Even if Yujin came around and joined Richard in Adrestia, it wouldn't be forever. He either had to visit one or the other every now and again, but at the same time he didn't understand how Yujin couldn't hop over his shadow and at least come with him for a few months? He'd be away from his home and family, but Richard was away from his all the time, yet it seemed like Yujin ex…

Richard was tired of this conversation, of Yujin trying to devote his whole life to Richard and making it his whole personality. He was tired of telling him, that he felt terrible and that he didn't want to be a burden and he was tired of being told he wasn't. Of course he was, he couldn't even stand up on his own. He was tired of Yujin acting like dying for him was something good, it wasn't and Richard didn't want it. He wanted Yujin to live and have fun in life. Richard couldn't trust Shuren, …

"I think you're too busy looking after me, to be looking after yourself. I don't doubt that you want to do all of this for me, but I doubt you ever take a step back to make sure you are alright yourself.", Richard simply answered. They talked about it so often. "And it's not romantic to want to die if I do, it's not noble to come with me on a suicide mission and it wasn't noble going for revenge either. Sometimes I just want everything to end and it's not fair for you to put your life on my shou…

"But I don't want to keep dragging you down and holding you back! Don't claim I don't. Before, we would both go hang out with your friends, drink some wine and smoke. We'd go and watch the fireworks or just spend someplace else than the castle or this hut. Don't claim you only want to sit at home with none but me as your company. Cooking for me, cleaning, getting firewood, trading for food." Yujin did little else these days, he rather sat around waiting for Richard to maybe want to spend some ti…

Yujin just agreed with him now. He didn't know Dayan, why would he think so badly of him? He was Richards brother and he'd always been his best friend. Of course there had been times they fought, but nothing serious and they always quickly made up again. Even if Richard talked badly about him, that right wasn't extended to someone who never met him. Maybe he was defending Dayan a tad bit too much, but he was his brother, the only sibling he had left, of course he'd defend him. "Caring for me. Yo…

"There is no probably. He does.", Richard answered still quick to defend his brother from whatever ideas Yujin had. Where did they come from anyway? All Richard said was that he felt like he'd cause trouble fro Dayan if he remained in Adrestia but that wasn't Dayans fault, it was politics he couldn't do anything about. A king was not able to do whatever he wanted, not in Adrestia at least, because if he could, Dayan would have been the first in line for the throne anyway. When Rain adopted him, …

Richard hasn't felt like himself since he got here and he didn't think he would. In a way Yujin didn't even know who he was before all this. "He wants the same.", Richard answered, still unsure and somewhat upset that Yujin drew everything about Dayan so bleakly. "He's not like your brother." Was it wrong to bring up Xu? It felt like Yujin thought all brothers in this world were power hungry psychopaths. Dayan was different and neither of them ever truly wanted to sit on a throne and rule a whol…

"If anything he'll thank you. I wasn't doing good back in Adrestia.", Richard told Yujin. Maybe that hurt Dayan, but he couldn't think of a reason why he'd resent Yujin. For what? Besides, he had his own relationship even though Richard didn't approve it. Not that he told him that. "Why are you talking about Dayan like he'd do something to you or this place. Even if he were upset, he'd simply tell you and that is that. He knows I love you, he knows I carried your talisman all the way to Adrestia…

Richard decided plenty for himself and this is where it took him. First Olette, then Xu, maybe he was better off letting Dayan decide his fate, or Yujin, but if the two were in conflict, where did that leave him? He didn't understand why Yujin was so apprehensive, Dayan wasn't like Yujins own brother. "Dayan just sent me here because he thought I would heal, with your help, and I did." When he arrived here he didn't speak a word for months and he barely ate or slept. He was doing much better now…

Richard was almost a bit confused by the question Yujin posed. "I... I don't think it's a matter of what I want or not. My brother is king, so we should accommodate for him and I don't want to cause trouble for your family and force them to explain a private situation." Dayan had nothing to do with them and while Richard didn't think he'd do anything as the King of Adrestia to avenge his brother, he didn't want to throw Yujins whole family into some drama that could be avoided. "If we tell my br…

Richard noticed how Yujin came closer and sought some form of physical touch. "Your father yes, if Dayan wants to fetch me I assume he will stay for at least one night. He needs a room prepared, he needs food and you can't feed him whatever hellish spices you usually use. I assume your father would want to prepare and I doubt we can just welcome him here in this hut. He'll be your fathers guest not mine.", he answered, quickly listing all that it entailed. He knew how such things worked, but Sil…

While Richard read in silence, Yujin came closer, trying to peek at what Richard was reading and eventually Richard grabbed his hand to pull on it, so he'd just sit down on the bed with him. "He's apologizing for sending me here... I assume he wrote a letter to your father too? It seems he's already on his way." It would still take some time for him to get here, but surely there had to be some preperations made if the King of Adrestia visited. He needed a room, probably wanted to stay here a few…

Richard fell asleep in Yujins arms eventually. He felt so bad for putting this much weight on him, for being always in his head, for being unable to enjoy the time with him and do something together that he might like to do. He didn't even know if there was anything that he wanted, Yujin would never suggest anything he wasn't sure of if Richard would want it too. How many months had he spent here taking so much time and effort from Yujin and now that they were out here alone, would he even consi…

"No, as long as the records show." Records of the whole faily tree and portraits of some generations. Richard never expected to actually take Yujin to Adrestia and show him Myriad or Fhaergus, he always knew he'd go back alone and never return. That didn't work out, but it still seemed Richard was stuck here. "Nayantai and his father have much darker eyes than me. My aunt too, besides we're not related anyway." Dayan didn't share their eyes either, his were green, which kind of fit nowhere as we…

"Not on Rains side." Richard had wanted to show Yujin so much in Adrestia, they could have visited the estate in Fhaergus and he could have seen all the family portraits. Now Richard wasn't sure if he could ever return there. Richard looked at Yujins impression of his father and he was sure it was fairly obvious he was his fathers son as well, no matter the color of his eyes and yet, the more he thought about it, the less he felt like they were related at all. Maybe it was due to the fact that h…

"It's not about sheep, their eyes come in many colors anyway, but my family always had blue eyes... But I guess you're right.", he answered. Not that his eyes looked anything like Nayantais either, they were brown, yes, but his fathers were dark and Richards were not. He sighed. "I think you had it harder than me. There is Adrestians with all sorts of colored eyes, blue, green, brown, it doesn't matter. Out here there is barely someone who doesn't have dark eyes and hair." And thus they both stu…

Caelan hatte heute schon genug geredet und außerdem wollte er Oyu nicht wecken. Wie sollte er erklären, dass er den König der Wölfe in seinen Armen hielt? Für einige Zeit wollte er es zumindest noch tun. Er hatte ihn so sehr vermisst, beinahe tat es weh ihn jetzt so vor sich zu haben, als wäre er immer noch fort und der Ronan vor ihm nur ein Hirngespinst. All die Jahre war er hier gewesen, wie oft hatten sie sich nur knapp verpasst? Waren sie sich vielleicht sogar auf einem Schlachtfeld über den…

"We're not far from the monastery, shouldn't customs here be similar?", Genji asked. They fled down the hill through the forest and than followed a street, it really wasn't that far at all. Genji was surprised Mikuni didn't know this place, if only from hearing about it. "Just tell me if you need a break. Maybe we can get a horse somewhere." Genji didn't like to steal, but he'd do it if they had to. It wasn't like they had much money, aside from what they packed from the monastery, but he'd rath…

"Darüber zu sprechen löst meine Probleme nicht. Ich kenne deine Meinungen schon." War das nicht überhaupt erst das Problem? Dass sie unterschiedliche Vorstellungen von der Zukunft hatten? Wie auch immer, es war viel zu spät für solche Diskussionen. Caelan musste auch für sich selbst Klarheit schaffen und in vielen Punkten wollte er auch warten bis Rain hier war und er mit ihm sprechen konnte. Die Sorge um ihn würde auch nicht verschwinden nur weil er mit Ronan darüber sprach. "Das meine ich nich…
