you swallowed my heart and fled, but I want it back now, baby
This is not the morning he’d expected to walk in on. Are you okay? A silent query, while Nate looks down at Hotaru, confirming they’re on the same page, that he hasn’t actually missed anything yet. His arm around her grows yet more possessive, and he reaches out, meaning to take Sunjata’s hand as well, to offer him a tether of support.
He can be leaned on now, he can offer this again.
Apparently, he is more interesting for the moment, an almost serious huff leaving Nate as the worry is deflected away, as his eye is commented on. And... well he might as well tell his first, he has the good news it seems.
”Its fine.” He assures them both first, the grin returning to his lips, though the bright joy is somewhat muzzled now. ”It’ll be fixed again before you know it.” He’d done it once after all. The singular eye sparkles with joy, with a pious glow. ”I went to talk to the Voice, and She,” so much had been done, how does he even voice it? ”She changed me. Took out everything Safrin ruined, and made me better.”
So much better. So much brighter. ”She made me one of her Demi-gods.”
No sooner has the bombshell dropped from his lips than Nate is turning to look at Sunjata, head cocking to the side. ”Now, what do we need to talk about, Sunny?”
