[el_vago]

After this discussion with Gorlim first thing this morning, Andres returns, rather sullenly to his room

Comments

Random, after a long moment, twists where he lies and murmurs something incoherent into the pillow.

After another few breath, his eyes flutter slightly.

[el_vago]

Andres glances up from the book and watches him.

"Well good morning Random." He says finally, with a smile.

[underwater_owl]

At the unexpected sound Random shoots awake.

He's sitting up, his hand reaching for a hidden knife before the sleep clears from his eyes and he manages to focus on Andres.

After a long moment of blinking, he manages to speak.

"Er... hello?"

[el_vago]

Andres raises an eyebrow at this, and regards Random rather amused. At least it was a distraction.

"Yes, hello again." He smirks. "Don't worry I'm not going to kill you. Except perhaps by reading this aloud."

[underwater_owl]

"Oh."

Random shakes his head to get the blood moving.

"Well, that's good, I suppose. Good morning."

He's not entirely clear on how he ended up in Andres's room; and the fact that he's almost fully dressed sort of rules out the more obvious explanation, so...

[el_vago]

Andres tilts his head and frowns very slightly. Otherwise his expression is blank.

"Did you sleep well enough? I didn't mean to wake you."

He closes the book and sets it aside.

[underwater_owl]

"I slept... very deeply."

He gives Andres a small smile, and pulls the blankets back up around himself.

"I am generally awake long before dawn. Though I don't know the time, I imagine it's much later than that."

[el_vago]

"It is. Quite a bit, and already it's been a long morning."

*Shrug* "But I'm glad you slept."

[underwater_owl]

He rises quickly from the bed, all traces of sleep gone as he takes in Andres.

"You sound terrible. Is everything alright?"

[el_vago]

"All things considered, I'm doing very well I think. I'm even considering a visit home." He grins wryly at this. Knowing full well that if he left it would not just be for a visit.

[underwater_owl]

Random bites his bottom lip.

"Leaving me so quickly? No, don't answer that. What happened now?"

[el_vago]

He tries to smile but fails rather spectacularly.

"I spoke with Gorlim this morning. Or rather, he spoke to me. It seems my excuse for staying has been taken away." He sighs and and stares at the floor in front of him.

[underwater_owl]

"Oh God, Andres."

He's out of bed, with his arms around the Castillian in less time than should be possible.

"I'm sure he loves you. He must."

[el_vago]

That earns him a snort.

"He says he does, but I can't quite believe it, and even so he's got a lousy way of showing it." *Shrug* "I don't think I can even try to hope, let alone believe it. Not after yesterday."

[underwater_owl]

"I think he's confused. Probably about me. I resemble Faramir, and he's unsure of where that stands."

He sighs deeply.

"What did he say?"

Why do these stupid idiots keep doing this to the Castillian?

[el_vago]

Probably because they know they will be forgiven and he's easy to take things out on because he accepts the blame
