it sounds like you are in need of a break.
should we leave the castle walls for a moment? we could take flight or go for a walk?

my usual worries, jace. nothing unusual.
𝔅𝔞𝔢𝔩𝔞.

( she looks at him. )
I hear you. I do… I just worry is all.
𝔅𝔞𝔢𝔩𝔞.
( a small nod. )
i would appreciate that. we must be able to rely on each other.
͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏𝒅𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒔𝒐𝒏 .ᐟ
I understand. I promise to do that more.
𝔅𝔞𝔢𝔩𝔞.
don't apologize.
i just wish you lean on me instead of the other way around.

I know… and I am sorry my love.
𝔅𝔞𝔢𝔩𝔞.
you do so much for me and yet
you deny me the chance to do the same.

I’m almost done, Jace. It no problem at all.
𝔅𝔞𝔢𝔩𝔞.
that is thoughtful.
i could assist. though, i'm not sure how many hands it takes to make some tea.
͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏𝒅𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒔𝒐𝒏 .ᐟ
I’ll have it made myself. I know how you like it.
Also it could be that your body is tired.
𝔅𝔞𝔢𝔩𝔞.
actually, tea sounds perfect.
i'm still having trouble waking.
͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏𝒅𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒔𝒐𝒏 .ᐟ
Would you like some tea?
𝔅𝔞𝔢𝔩𝔞.
