"Should I be worried about something, then?" He asked, glancing around uneasily.
"Should I be worried about something, then?" He asked, glancing around uneasily.
Derlik shook his head.
"You're nervous because your brain is being mean," the god explained.
"Well, how am I supposed to make it stop? It's been doing that for a while now."
"We just have to work on it slowly," Derlik admitted. "It'll take time."
"I'm not very patient, though…" Nix sighed, huffing a bit. "Wish it would just be quiet…"
"I know, Nix," Derlik said, chuckling softly. He ran his fingers through Nix's hair, placing a kiss to his head.
"Mm… and it seems like something bad is always happening to me. It doesn't really get better."
Derlik nodded a bit more, resting his head on the man's.
"We'll work on it," Derlik assured.
"How's it supposed to work on it while we're stuck at his house, though?"
"I'm going to make sure he doesn't ever even show his face," Derlik assured.
Nix sighed. "But how are you supposed to do that? It's his house."
"He's weak right now," Derlik explained. "I managed to patch him up, but he's not moving from bed any time soon."
"But he'll heal eventually, won't he? He won't be stuck there forever."
"Perhaps," Derlik said, shrugging some. "If not, that's one less thing for us to worry about."
"But if he doesn't do his job, then bad things will happen, right?"
"I'm sure Zachary can handle it. He can do everything Halm does for the work, after all." Derlik offered a small smile.
"Really?" Nix looked up at Derlik curiously. "I dunno how I feel about Zachary… Cas likes him, obviously, but I don't think I trust him."
"He's a lot better than the other," Derlik said, sighing some. "He's an okay man."
Nix hummed skeptically, looking away. "He rubs me the wrong way. I feel like he's pressuring Cas into lying to me."
"Oh? What does he want Cas to lie about?" Perhaps Derlik could clear up some things, distance Nix more from the two men.
"About you, remember? He's trying to make me think you're bad." Nix huffed a bit.
Derlik sighed.
"No one he's been around ever likes me," Derlik admitted, referring to Halm.
"Yeah, well, we obviously can't trust his judgement considering all the stuff he's done to me. I don't buy it."
"I don't either. I'm glad you're smart enough to see through him." Derlik hummed, kissing Nix's head.
Nix nodded a bit. "I think he's tricking Cas, though, and I dunno what I should do…"
