One day, Gray will tell him, so he doesn’t have to worry anymore. How it feels to die and come back, being dragged over broken glass…but how it feels before that.
The dark, the quiet…the nothingness. Maybe it bothers Javic, but—for Gray it’s soothing. Those moments in the dark, when nothing is anything, when nothing hurts…those are the moments when he can rest. Or at least they were, for a long time.
Now that he has his brother back, the void doesn’t seem so appealing. But he’ll tell Javic…one day. So he doesn’t worry. Today, however, is not that day.
Today, he grins and draws back to sock Javic lightly in the shoulder before pointing at him.
“I’ll hold you to that. Strictly.” He warns with a laugh. “And I’ll do it twice if you try to fast talk your way out of it.”
