tune

Eclipse supported his weight holding him close, "You okay?" he asked, "Or do you wanna be carried?"

Nik nodded. "I…I think I can walk." he breathed. "Just…let me lean on you as we walk?"

Eclipse nodded, "'Course love" he said, softly, carefully leading him towards the pair of guards that were starting on food.

Nik nodded, leaning against Eclipse. He was more of hopping, since his left foot wasn't really able to take his weight.

Eclipse hummed softly, unable to keep away his unhappiness over the other's leg, but pushing it away so he could support him.

Nik was quiet, listening to Eclipse's humming.

Eclipse eventually got bored of worrying, continuing his humming, turning it into a tune.

Nik listened, hopping along at Eclipse's side as he leaned against the other boy's side.

Eclipse led him to a place to sit down and watch the other's work, knowing full well that he'd made sure everyone knew his top priority was NIk.

Nik sat down beside Eclipse, leaning against the other boy still. "I love you." he said again, quiet.

Eclipse nodded, "I love you too Nik," he said again, trying to put as much meaning into his words as possible.

Nik took a deep breath. "I'm sorry that I'm such a burden." he said quietly.

"You're not" said Eclipse softly. "You're really not"

"Are you sure?" Nik asked softly. "Are you really sure?"

"Of course I'm sure Nik," said Eclipse softly, "Really sure."

Nik nodded, leaning into Eclipse's side contentedly.

Eclipse smiled softly, cuddling him closer.

Nik cuddled as close to Eclipse as he could.

Eclipse smiled softly, letting him curl closer.

Nik looked up at him. "Once we reach Tesh, I know that you'll have…a lot to do, but… we'll still be able to be together, right?"

"Of course love" murmured Eclipse, holding him closer.

Nik nodded. "Alright." He replied softly, snuggling close to Eclipse.

Eclipse smiled a little, before letting his mind wander to the many jobs that awaited hhim back in Tesh, particularly the power shifts among the nobility.

Aron came over, holding out two plates of food. He gave them a quick smile. "Are you two planning on sharing a tent?" he asked.
Nik took a plate, and glanced at Eclipse. "I…I think so."

Eclipse hummed, "Of course" he said, taking the plate with a grateful nod. "I thought it was clear that Nik isn't leaving my sight" he grinned a little, hugging him closer protectively.
