"I guess I got used to it."

*The treton hums as Horace pats her hair. It seems like despite her condition, she's able to feel it. It felt just like the old days...*

*Family.*

*That single word awoke Yakaiyo, her eyes shooting open. Memories flash back as she remembers her family; her husband, Hakaze, and her two children, Nodako and Asake. Growing older, showing great potential, their destinies cut short by-*

*No, not again. Yakaiyo shakes her head, desperately trying to free herself from the tormenting memory. The memory fades, but the fleeting flashback's effect remains. Yakaiyo buries her face in her hands, and Horace can hear sobs. It's the first time she's cried in... What, months? How many months has it been?*

*Horace rested on the mattress, completely oblivious to Yakaiyo's internal shock. His arms cuddling the trenton as he begins to fall asleep. His eye lids growing heavy, soon closing and ready for bed...*

*But it seemed Horace wouldn't get the chance as he hears something. Crying...? Coming from his chest...? The elf sleepily opens his eyes, looking down at the girl within his arms. Gentle tears rolling down the trenton's worn cheeks, staining the mattress beneath them.*

*Horace's eyes widen, quickly sitting up and looking at Yakaiyo.*

"Y-yakaiyo!? Are you okay, what happened?"

*Horace stares down at her for a moment, not really knowing what was happening... But then it hits him. God he was such an idiot! He really had to bring up her family like that!? He was just so tired, it completely slipped his mind...*
"Oh god Yakaiyo... Im so sorry, i didn't mean to-..."

*The elf says, putting a hand on the back of his head unsurely. What should he do!? Comfort her? Apologize more? Leave!? Horace wasn't ready to be in a situation like this, he had just slipped off to sleep a second ago...!*
