[ There's a lot he feels like he could say or do here - make attempts to fix this thing between Gorgug and Riz, especially when he knows that all the two of them are doing is likely just feeling bad for the other's sake.

But this probably isn't the time. Gorgug has only just regained his senses. Everything is still clearly overwhelming to him. Stuff like that must still be too intricate, especially when his emotions are still so raw, when those tears keep flooding. ]

Then.. are you still tired?

[ Granted, Fabian was holding the other off from only sleeping earlier - but that was just because he didn't want Gorgug to isolate, to escape into some world by himself with all this on his shoulders. ]

If you scoot over a little, I'll stay here with you. [ And to indicate what he means by 'here', Fabian pats the bed - indicating that he's planning on getting in there with Gorgug. ] I can't lie and say it will necessarily fix everything, but-- I know I felt a lot better when we were napping together back in Moorecroft.

[ Even though Fabian obviously hadn't been through anything as bad as Gorgug.

But that place had still exhausted him. It had still dragged him down. And it taught him that sometimes the presence of another person can do a lot for you, as simple as it is.

And maybe it's a way for him to absolutely proof that he isn't afraid of Gorgug in the slightest, despite what transpired between them. Despite what Gorgug threatened him with. Despite what Gorgug did to Riz.

He's not someone to be afraid of. Fabian isn't afraid. ]

I suppose food can wait until after. [ Especially when Gorgug seems to feel this reluctant about eating, with all the emotions he's still dealing with. ]
