His approach to ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕'s tent was set at a somewhat hurried and risked pace; something in the air seemed stranger than —

— usual. Knowing his place, he stood for a moment in silence outside the tent, not meaning to eavesdrop, but — ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕

— seeking a suitable moment to enter. However, a sudden wave of breeze that had the surrounding leaves rustling — ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕

— wildly, along with slight commotion from within, had Loras standing to attention. With his heart locked in — ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕

— his throat, he leapt into the tent, pushing through whatever being may have stood in his way, until he caught ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕'s —

— gaze within the looking glass he stood by, along with that of a dark shape taking a form like smudged ink behind ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕.

Loras could not believe what he was seeing; he refused belief in such a scene. To see ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕ fall to the ground with —

— such a pained and shocked look residing in his hues, scared Loras more than anything he had ever witnessed. — ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕

— His mind appeared to be useless, yet his legs moved for him and he collapsed beside ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕. "R-Renly? What on Earth-. . ?"

Being so close to ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕, Loras could clearly see the emotions that contorted his features. So shocked he was himself, —

— it took him a moment to process and react to ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕'s words. "I shan't leave you. . Not like this, what if I come back and-. ."

The sight of ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕ was still a terribly surprising sight, one that choked him of his own oxygen supply. Clenching his —

— jaw in order to keep from doing anything reckless, he rose on shaking legs and took a last, longing look at ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕. —

— "I'll be right back, I swear it." And with that, he turned and left ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕ behind, left behind he who was at his deepest core.

Loras had no objections about carrying ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕ wherever he needed to be taken, he would have offered - pleaded, had he —

— not been asked. And where ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕ currently lay, he stayed beside him for every moment. His head hung low for a good —

— amount of time before a slight stirring brought his hues back up to ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕'s flickering eyelids. "Renly!"

"He has." Loras nodded vigorously, hues scanning ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕ for any negative signs, wincing whenever he found one. —

— "How do you feel, ┈ 𝒲𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎 ♕?" He asked, a nervous desperation in his eyes.

/ Apologies for the absence, I'll be back shortly.
