serious matters
When Shun returned, Jeremiah was sitting propped up with a tablet. His torso was bare, the bruising at his heart more than obvious, just like the rest of the bruising was. There was no abrasions, no broken skin, just bone deep bruising everywhere.
For all that Shun looked tired, Jeremiah looked more so. "So," he said, his tone conversational but his eyes bright, as he set down the tablet in his lap, "I assume you have some sort of explanation?"

without the rigmarole
"First time I've ever seen you look more like s**t than I feel," Alexis said, surprisingly subdued; there was none of the usual sting to their voice. It wasn't the same emptiness they'd had when he'd taken them out of Court, at least; it was just the very tired acceptance, that this was how it was now, and maybe nothing ever really would get better, and sometimes it just was. (They looked like they hadn't been sleeping well.)
They folded themself into the chair -- that was the only word for it, really, legs hooked tight to the chair's own, hands in white-knuckled fists. "They almost wouldn't let me in." And that was why. "I think they thought I was gonna try t'kill you too." It wasn't funny. Alexis didn't try to act like it was.
A moment of quiet, and then -- "<********> Mercer."
