I saw the crosses of empty cathedrals whose prospects were hanging out in bars
It isn’t something he’s familiar with at all — it isn’t something he can recognize when it happens. It’s evident in the way he’d handled Delphine when she was high, an absolute uncertainty under what was wrong but knowing that something very much was. But Nate’s thumbs run along his cheeks and he swallows perhaps a bit harder than he anticipates, listening and searching.
But fuck, as if he doesn’t trust this man right here with everything he has and is.
So he hums thoughtfully, quiet for a brief moment as his gaze slips from meeting Nate’s to look to anything else along the Ascended other than those electrifying eyes. “We didn’t have anything like it in Korofi.” He begins, half tempted to trail off but… He can’t because Nate should know, Nate needs to know. So he takes almost a sharp inhale, arms tightening around Nate as he goes to meet his electric blues, chewing on the inside of his lip as he tries to figure out where to start.
“I… Did it once. With Phoebe.” There, that’s a good starting point. “I had the blight, and it kept getting worse when everyone else was getting better. Lusea had just arrived and… I went to Phoebe to ask questions, pissed about her getting better when I was getting worse. Was blighted, got really fucked up and drunk. I panicked, told her about the Trials.” There’s a moment when his jaw clenches, muscles feathering therein. “She gave me something to calm down… And that’s when I cheated on Luci.” He sums up as easily as he can, taking a deep inhale and focusing on Nate, unsure how the other man might take it, pausing to give him time — wondering if he will come to the same result as Hotaru had.
