“Not to sound callous, but is there anything else you wanted?”

Nithel swallowed hard, It’s not callus. It’s protective. *honestly a bit heartened by it* “I don’t know what else I could want…” Softly, his brows furrowing. He glanced down at Leana, and she stared up at him with those beautiful blue eyes. Teary. What if the only way to save Leana, was to let harm come to Alessio? To harm Alessio? His heart cracks a bit more, and he honestly wishes he was dead.  It would be so much simpler. But… I am needed here, or I would be dead. 

Nithel looked back at Alessio, and offered the shortest smile, but it faded quickly into a gaze deeper than the sea. I wouldn’t. Oh, Holy One! I wouldn’t harm either, to save the other. Am I weak? He pushed Leana off him, the smallest bit, and backed up until he was even with Alessio. (If Alessio isn’t looking, he’ll wait till he meets his eyes.) May I touch you, friend? Embrace you? He’d be content just to clasp his arm.
