WARNINGS: It gets saucy.
To say that Caleb had been going through some shit lately was kind of an understatement. But that was almost to be expected. He tended to spiral, hard and fast, when his family wasn't around. He needed Fjord and Beau to keep him in line. He needed Veth to remind him to take care of himself. He needed Jester to remind him to laugh at stupid things like dick jokes. And he needed Caduceus to be a warm place to fall when it all got a little bit too much. He'd found the other man's wisdom a lifeline in several of his most terrible self-flagellating moments. And maybe that was what had brought him here. Hope was its own sort of magic, after all. In all honesty, though, he had been trying for Beau specifically. He thought maybe the touch of the Nonagon that ran through them both might serve to amplify the magic. It did not. And he wasn't really that surprised. But something had worked. He was sure of that. He didn't know what exactly he had done right but he had done something and one more of his friends was there with them. The second he heard Caduceus' voice come out of the magic message box thing he was on his feet and out of his bedroom. He hadn't bothered setting an Alarm or even putting his shoes on. And Frumpkin had barely looked up from his place on the spare bed long enough to notice that Caleb was gone. He rushed down the stairs, taking corners a bit sharply and trying not to slide in his socks. It seemed like it was taking hours to get there. But he did get there, skidding to a stop just a few feet away from Caduceus and simply staring at him for a moment. Then he hurled himself into Caduceus' long arms. "I was worried I'd never see any of you again," he muttered into Caduceus' chest. Then, just as swiftly, he leaned back and looked the other man over head to toe. "Are you alright? Are you hurt? What happened? Did we get out of Nicodranas? Do you need healing? I can't heal well, but-nevermind, you can do that. Are the others alright?" |
