he's not nearly in as bad an emotional shape as he was in the moment Minuet got back from the gambler demon's realm, but he still shifts very close into the curve of his body, thunking his face into Minuet's shoulder and tucking an arm over him]
Entire flocks were in the process of being punished, in the sequence you interrupted. I believe Perci might have had to lose far more than a leg without the healing that occured, and Bluebell might not have had even their delayed healing.

[gently tugs him up by their joined hands]
I think we're about to tie, anyway. I'll help you make breakfast later.
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
My place? Unless you got a non-cursed room in the past few days.
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
[and that is, indeed, why they are making their way to the Bluebell door and not Lily]
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
Okay, so what's an ideal Charon bedroom look like?
I'm imagining books and also fancy.
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
Though I do perfectly well with much less, and we don't sleep much, so I don't know...
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
What makes you happy? Relaxed? Besides the books.
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
...
[this one's a lot harder to figure out atm]
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
[only one of these can go in a bedroom on a permanent basis]
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
--So, a chess set maybe? Got it.
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
If we're playing that way, tell me something that makes you relax to have around.
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
[ Pushing open the door to his room with barely any personal belongings in it, to punctuate the point ]
I'd pick a totally empty room with people I love in it any day.

Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
[ Pushing Charon onto the bed and proceeding to build a cocoon of pillows around him ]
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
[he tolerates getting pillow cocooned because he knows it makes Minuet feel better to bundle people up within sight of him after a bad time
absolutely sticking a hand out and tugging at his wrist from in there though. get in here mister]
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
He climbs right in and also boots a pillow out of the way when it prevents him from flopping as close as possible. ]
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]

Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
He settles an arm around the small of his back, an anchoring, grounding weight. ]
When's the last time you slept?
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
[he relaxes into Minuet's hold, slowly but sure, voice a low muffled hum against his neck]
A lot. . .happened. Thank you for your gamble.
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
Don't thank me.
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
Should you truly not be thanked?
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
The damage I walked into was considerable.
[ Has it occurred to him that it potentially being much worse was even a possibility? No cuz wtf ]
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
[peers up at him a little, one green eye over his collar]
It was a demon specifically of vengeance. You averted a lot more pain than might have been obvious on sight.
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
He says nothing, but his fingers press a little harder into Charon's back, almost possessively. ]
Re: [day 56, shepherd power hour]
Don't diminish your role. It's not as though you had it easy either, did you?
