Nik let out a faint breath, still curled up with Smoke.

Derlik closed his eyes a moment.

Nik let out a slightly shaky breath, remembering all the times someone had approached him because of what he used to be.

Derlik watched Nik closely, then reached out to lightly touch Nik's forehead. This would take more than just word, he knew.
"Relax… Let them slip from you're mind." He spoke with a calm assurance, gentle still.

Nik opened his eyes, peering up at Derlik and letting out a shaky breath.

Derlik gently brushed some hair out of Nik's face.
"How are you feeling..?"

He shrugged a little bit.

Derlik sighed, leaving his hand on Nik's head.

Nik was quiet, closing his eyes again after a moment.

Derlik moved his hand to Nik's neck, staying close to Nik.

Nik stiffened just a little bit, but didn't make a sound.

Derlik stopped moving, simply rubbing his head and neck for now.

Nik was quiet, eyes still closed and body still curled around Smoke.

Derlik let out a soft breath, hand falling still on Nik's neck again.

Nik swallowed faintly, still curled up with Smoke.

Derlik sighed, finally taking his hand from Nik.
"You should try to get some sleep," he prodded gently.

Nik glanced up at him with a shrug, then looked away again.

Derlik sighed. He stay laid on the boulder with Nik, watching him.

Nik closed his eyes, but didn't fall asleep.

Derlik sighed in relief, slowly moving off the boulder.

Nik shifted a little when he felt Derlik leave, but didn't open his eyes.

Derlik watched Nik a moment, then turned and left.

Nik stayed on the boulder, curled up with Smoke. Though he did wonder where Derlik had gone.

Derlik didn't come back for some time, and while he was gone Twili slowly made her way towards the boulder.

Nik stayed laying on the boulder, Smoke asleep in his arms.
