[He blushes, hugging Alhaitham tightly] Th-thank you... I'm not usually so... shaky. I just- certain nightmares, um... you being here helps, though.

I- it's not that I don't WANT to tell you, it's just.... it's hard to talk about.

[He smiles weakly, leaning into the touch] Thank you... I- I'll talk about it eventually. Probably.

[Wriothesley leans into the touch] That- that helps... 's calming.

[He sniffles a bit, tucking his face against Alhaitham's chest and pulling his blanket tighter around himself. The blanket, the nest, Alhaitham... it all makes him feel... protected.

[Wriothesley smiles weakly] You're a good singer...

It's a lovely song... and you sing it beautifully. [He smiles softly]

[He rests his head against Alhaitham's chest, looking up at him lovingly] You make a good pillow.

[He giggles softly] A weighted blanket, I'm sure.

Mm, I'm glad... apparently I run surprisingly warm for a cryo user.

Probably the dog. [He giggles softly] Apparently Abyssal creatures like rifthounds do give off quite a bit of heat... makes me wonder if the Abyss is warm.

[He nods] Probably for the best... still, it's interesting to think about.

[Wriothesley leans into the touch, tail wagging happily]

[He blushes] Yeah? Which is cuter, this or my wolf form?

[In rifthound form, head on his front paws, looking sad]

[He giggles, his blush darkening] Very.

[Wriothesley closes his eyes, starting to drift off again]

[Wriothesley falls asleep in his arms, a soft smile on his face]

What should I name the new puppy....

//I'm alive! I think I'm gonna try to be active here again
