look at all the mess you made
Seeing the Voice appear starts a full body tremble in the Demi-god, some part of him releasing. Even if he has nothing else, he has his goddess. A watery grin spreads over his features, the small amount of praise gutting him in his current state.
Nate collapses to the ground like all he’s been waiting for is permission, his head in his hands and his knees drawing up. Some petty part of him wants to shout, shouldn't you know already?, but he breathes through the thought, his arms moving to circle his knees so he can look up at the Voice instead.
“I just... I can’t keep one fucking thing from going wrong, can I? Can’t have one thing that’s just good.” His tongue dips out of mouth to wet his lips, Nate not bothering to pretend to breathe. “I’m just... fuck, I’m sorry. I’m just tired. The... my guild, guilds!” A hiccup of hysterical laughter leaves him, Nate holding up two fingers just to really drive the fact home. “They were uh, burned down. Targeted specifically.”
