He smiled softly. "I understand, sort of." he replied.

"Mm…" Lloyd sprawled across Ellis's stomach, sighing. "And I'd rather wait until I'm older. I'm only eighteen, after all."

Ellis looked at him. "Can you not, please? I have…bruises." he said quietly, shifting uncomfortably.

"Sorry…" Lloyd sat up and sighed, running his fingers through his hair.

"It's alright. I just…Anton left bruises."

Lloyd nodded. "Yeah…" He lay back down and rested his head against Ellis's shoulder.

Ellis leaned his head on Lloyd's.

"Mmmm… I'm hungry. We'll have to go get food at some point."

Ellis nodded a little. He himself wasn't particularly hungry, but he knew that they would have to eat. "Yeah."

Lloyd sighed softly, looking out the window. "Technically we could have it brought to us, but I don't like doing that…"

"Why not?" Ellis asked, raising his eyebrows.

Lloyd shrugged. "Feels pretentious, I guess… I don't like to make it harder for the staff."

"It's not that hard. I've done it for the…for Lord Aaron, and Anton, and Drew before."

"Well, still… I feel bad about it, so I try to make it easier for them. Usually the only reason I can't go down to get food for myself is if I'm badly injured or ill."

"Which you are injured." Ellis said, looking at him.

"Not that badly… I can still walk and stuff." Lloyd shrugged.

"If you're sure about that."

Lloyd nodded a bit. "And I've gotten better at navigating the crutches, so it's fine…"

Ellis nodded, sitting up. "Okay."

Lloyd looked up at Ellis curiously when he sat up. "Are you going somewhere?"

"I thought we were going to get food?" He asked slowly.

"Well, we don't have to go now. We can go later if you want."

"Oh. Alright." he lay back down.

"You said you're not that hungry anyway, so we can wait a bit…"

He nodded. "Yeah, that's fine."
