[steps closer again, dropping the branch once more to pull him into a hug while he's still sitting. just wrapping her arms around him as she holds him close]

[bluerosestyle]

[ah...]

[bluerosestyle]

[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhugs her back

:(]

[sleeplessknight]

You've never disappointed me.

[bluerosestyle]

[yeah he's crying]

[sleeplessknight]

[NOOOOOO

just holds him tighter, running her fingers through his hair]

[bluerosestyle]

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I hope you weren't in a hurry...]

[sleeplessknight]

[no, not at all]

[bluerosestyle]

[enjoy his hair, then...

he'll eventually calm down. not that he's been crying loudly or anything but, you know.]

[sleeplessknight]

[yes, she's just resting her own head down against his, burying her face in his hair.

at least we can keep each other warm like this]

[bluerosestyle]

[yes...

resting there. just. like that. then, after a while, softly:]

I should go with you.

[sleeplessknight]

Eh?

[pulls back a little]

[bluerosestyle]

You shouldn't have to face this alone. I can't do this alone either, but I don't want you to be in danger if I can help it.

[sleeplessknight]

And the tree...?

[bluerosestyle]

Mm. Well, I don't know. I've never left its side.

[sleeplessknight]

Won't that make things worse?

[bluerosestyle]

I can't say for sure that it won't, but I can't think of anything I want to do less than hurt you.

[sleeplessknight]

I-I'll be okay! I managed just fine against the monsters earlier!

[doesn't... sound entirely sure]

[bluerosestyle]

[wipes his tears with his sleeve, then looks up at her seriously]

Would you rather do this on your own?

[sleeplessknight]

N-No, but I don't want to make things worse either...

[bluerosestyle]

...I don't think things can be worse. For me, that is.

[sleeplessknight]

If you're really, really sure...

[bluerosestyle]

I can't promise I'll be able to go everywhere with you, though. There are some places where I... can't be.

[time to heal his own leg, then! murmur murmur, white light]

[sleeplessknight]

That's okay.

[watches]

[bluerosestyle]

[I can't believe I'm going to have to do this for Eugeo too now, but this is our life now.]

All the flowers in the vicinity disappear.
