Silence dominated the room for half an hour, the two only watching Ayen. It gave them relief that the guide seemed to be sleeping more peacefully this time.
They did not have a lot of opportunity when it was just the two of them. When Ayen arrived in their life, being with him became so normal that they themselves felt it was strange if the other was not with them.
Yet, it also did not make them distant from each other. They were still Khal and Devion. Nothing changed about that.
"When you said you heard our conversation..." Devion seized this rare opportunity. Something they would eventually do.
After accepting and trying the three of them officially, this also needed to be addressed. It was between the two of them.
It seemed a bit late, but it was not for them. Never for them.
Khal held his hand and nodded, giving out a hum.
Devion bit his lower lip. "It was hard then."
"I know," Khal replied in an affectionate tone.
