*On his way to his room to pick up clothes, he hears Wolfram yell and forgets all about their fight, replaced by a need to make sure that Wolfram is all right. He runs around the corner and approaches*
[OOC: Managed to typo this response twice in a row. Sorry!]
::A handful of guards had come to his shout, and he doesn't notice Yuuri at first, snarling at the guard who had arrived with a bucket in hand.:: Get rid of that.
::He weaves where he stands, a growl and a glare holding back the man who reaches out a hand to steady him. He frees one hand from where it's clenched in the fabric over his chest to stab a finger in the direction of one of the guards.:: You. Get together a team to start the search from the roof down. ::Another guard is singled out, this one the one who'd set aside the bucket with a blush.:: Get some other men and start from the basement, working up.
::He's half turned away and still doesn't see Yuuri's approach as he turns his attention to yet another man.:: Find the Maou, and have him meet me here at once.
::The sound of Yuuri's voice comes in time with the guards answer, He's already here, sir. He turns quickly, locking shaking knees when they threaten to deposit him on the ground. He doesn't answer Yuuri
( ... )
*The guards scatter, moving around him with hasty speed to obey Wolfram’s orders. His heart jumps with every unsteady, wavering movement of Wolfram’s body and he wonders how the hell the boy is even on standing, let alone bossing men nearly twice his height around as if they were children
( ... )
::It's sheer stubborn nature that keeps him standing, and for a moment he bristles at Yuuri's suggestion.:: I don't need... ::But then the boy has hold of his hand, an arm around his waist, and Yuuri's voice is soft and compelling next to his ear. Without realizing what he's doing, he lets his knees fold, and they're both on the ground. For a moment his head swims, the short naps he's managed to to snatch not enough to lighten the exhaustion of recent stresses. Yuuri's hands are there to steady him, gently reassuring
( ... )
Shh *he smoothes his hand gently down Wolfram’s neck, laying his head against Wolfram’s and breathing in deeply* They are two very smart girls. They will take care of each other and we will find them, safe and sound. *he laughs softly, hugging Wolfram against him* You’ve got half the castle guards in a frenzy, looking for them. Even if they are playing hide and seek, someone will find them
( ... )
::His arms slide slowly around Yuuri, giving one final long shiver before the last of the tension flows out of him under Yuuri's touch. He nods along as Yuuri speaks, knowing everything the other boy says is the truth and it's possible that his panic has no cause.::
You're worried? You seem so.. calm. ::He smiles at the thought of them tucking the girls in, enjoying the way Yuuri's hands play over him. He's silent a minute after Yuuri finishes, eyes heavy with sleep. The peace is short lived, and he forces his eyes open, lifting his head to look at Yuuri, a slight unhappiness marking his expression.:: I trust you.
But what then? What happens after we tuck them in and wish them goodnight? ::He lifts one hand, letting his fingertips slide along Yuuri's cheek, then rise to brush hair back from the other boy's forehead.:: What do we do after that?
Of course I’m worried *he admonishes softly* But I also know our girls and I know that we have good people looking for them and I know we will find them. *He combs his fingers through Wolfram’s hair leisurely, soothing out the tangles*
And after that? *He knows what they really must do is have another talk about the fight in the kitchen. But it will be different this time. It’s in his nature to not hold anything against people, and he’s already forgiven Wolfram’s rash actions that certainly weren’t maliciously intended. He just needs to understand why now so that it can be put behind them. But there is no reason to bring that up now, not with Wolfram being all warm and snuggly.*
Then we get you to bed. Lots of sleep, so you can heal. *He nods empathetically* Everything looks better in the morning with a fresh outlook. I'll say 'wow, what a beautiful morning!' And you'll be all 'it's morning, Wimp. What's so wonderful about that?' and then roll over and bury your head in the pillows. *He laughs softly, fondly* You are
( ... )
::He knows his hair must be gritty with soot and dirt, and he wants to object to Yuuri's fingers combing through it, but he can't manage anything more than a sigh. A soft, spiteful voice in his head tells him to enjoy this while he can because once the crisis is over Yuuri will again be nothing but angry with him. His words, when they come, are a sleepy murmur.:: It isn't normal to be so cheerful in the morning, wimp. ::For a fleeting instant he smiles, and it seems like he'll say more but there's the sudden sound of footsteps and one of the guards comes into sight.::
Greta has been found, sir. ::The man salutes, carefully keeping his gaze off to one side. He blinks, then tries to push himself up to standing, stumbling a bit on the hem of the robe he'd taken earlier. He's too tired to disguise the relief in his eyes or the faint smile that curls his lips and he tugs at Yuuri's arm even as he staggers.:: You were right. Come on, let's find out what happened.
[OOC: I'd just decided to do the same thing. You posted while I was writing mine. I've deleted and reposted under yours. Great Evil minds think alike, eh? XD]
Wolfram! What's wrong? What happened?
