SUNJATA
the flood
all the drinkin' and the druggin' and the black and the red
the achy skin and all the sweat in my bed
the achy skin and all the sweat in my bed
It won’t hurt him. How many times has he heard that and it done exactly that? But he believes her – he can’t remember fully why at the moment, but he knows that he does. He trusts her, and if there’s something Sunjata doesn’t give out much anymore, it’s trust. The scales remain, the feathers trembling until the soothing feeling of it cools him down and there’s a flicker of some clarity that slowly tries to break its way through.
Until it’s snuffed out again.
“He’ll come back to me. He'll come back.” He repeats, gruffly, voice parched and hoarse as the cloth moves to his cheek and his neck. His eyes close, doing as she says, sinking back into the bed and letting the blanket slip away, the air cool against fevered skin and he wonders if the steam he sees is real or if it’s all make-believe.
There’s a quiet pause, jaw working as his teeth grind and clench together. “I don’t know what’s real anymore.” It’s quiet, uncertain, eyes opening so his steel can focus on Vai’s face. “I’m sorry… That I didn’t tell you. I thought I did.”

Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3
Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.
