For someone who has experienced having his heat before, Lir stared at me blankly with wide eyes as if all I said was gibberish that he could not understand. I waited patiently for his senses to catch up to what I said as he furrowed his brows and looked down. He seemed to be thinking carefully about something.
I started eating breakfast while the guy who is still not recovered from everything that has happened is also absentmindedly shoving food in his mouth. He was eating just for the heck of it but his mind is obviously elsewhere. He has stayed quiet from the time that I told him outright what I think is happening to his body.
After he has eaten his fill of warm food, drank some sweet fruit juice and breathed a bit more, some color finally went back to his lips and his face is back to normal. As if given a big boost of energy with enough food, he finally responded to me verbally again.
