[some brief, faint amusement. His own feelings sober as he sits next to Minuet, leaning back on his hands. He doesn't prompt him to talk, but there's a gentle sense of patience, the kind that comes with being willing to sit and wait for as long as you have to]
[he lets his head fall back, sighing tiredly. There's a low key feeling of shame that starts to bubbles up, something that lingers in the background, just loud enough to remind you that it's there]
Like anything I felt didn't matter, because he deserved this. And he would be safe back home.

Better that than what's bothering you coming out when you don't want it. [he gestures between them] I'd be willing to listen if you need it.

Sure. Let's go somewhere with less emotional eavesdropping first, though.

no subject
Yeah.
I felt some pretty selfish stuff too.
no subject
Did you get pissed about it, too?
no subject
[ Tyr only gets a glimpse of the grief behind this statement, but it's a put that tunnels to the very core of him, not remotely healed over. ]
But I did wish I could undo it. Even if being asleep is better and safer for him, and waking him would benefit only me.

He makes a soft noise of understanding and lets his head tip back again to stare at the sky]
I keep trying to tell myself that it's wrong to feel that way and . . . I can't convince myself anymore.

I dunno. Maybe I'm trying, but not always succeeding.
