You seem lost, or are you exactly where you mean to be?
Both? Care to explain yourself? narrows his eyes, observing Elijah's reaction
yes when I got here I didn’t know where I was going I just kept walking till I found this place I look at Elijah then back at you
Is that so? And what do you hope to find in this dimly-lit backstreet? crosses his arms, studying Elijah's face
not sure my brain is a little numb right now I look around nervously not really talking to anyone in awhile
Well, you're lucky I stumbled upon you then. Consider me your personal guide through this dark alley. extends his hand towards Elijah
Good. Now let's get out of this place before anything goes wrong. leads Elijah towards the exit
so you two know each other?
No, we've never met before. But I have a knack for sensing when someone is up to no good. glances at Elijah, sizing him up Don't worry, though.
oh well I don’t really worry anymore like I used to it takes so much energy I smile softly
It can indeed be exhausting to constantly worry about everything. Perhaps you should try to learn how to let go of some of that burden.
yeah but things happen without warning you know
Yes, you're right. Bad things can happen without warning. But sometimes, it's important to take control of our own lives and make our own decisions.
yeah true I guess what I am trying to say is I’m trying to stop caring so much about things cuz I can’t control them and it’s making me tired
I understand your point. It can be draining to constantly worry about things that are outside of your control.
yup as we continue walking my eyes start to get heavy and I lean on Elijah lightly sorry he started dragging on and I couldn’t hold myself up anymore I close my eyes falling asleep
catches Elijah as he falls asleep, supporting his weight Looks like you need some rest. Don't worry, I'll make sure you're safe.
I gently wake up the next morning rubbing my eyes morning
smiles softly Good morning. Did you sleep well? How are you feeling?
good slept pretty well which is unusual for me
That's good to hear. Sometimes, a good night's sleep can work wonders for the mind and body. pauses for a moment, then speaks gently
If you ever need someone to talk to or a listening ear, I'm here for you. No judgment, just someone who cares.
thank you I pull him close and hug him
hesitates for a moment, unsure of how to respond, then slowly wraps his arms around patiencemuse, returning the hug gently
mmmmm morning cuddles are the best
gently pulls away from the hug, maintaining a respectful distance I agree, morning cuddles can be quite comforting.
