[ They are... kind of in public, which is why she tries to shield him from view with her own body. He's a bit taller than her, which makes this difficult - but she'll manage, she thinks, as she strokes his hair in a bid to get him to calm down.
It's almost surreal how he's the one crying this time. Usually it's her trying to hide her own tears. Maybe he's broken too hard. ]
[ It's precisely because he'll forget that she always remembers. ]
Okay. Go wash your face? I'll get things ready.
[ Make tea, clean up... write in her journal, maybe. So many things. She's probably not going to get any details out of him regarding Riza, so she has to draft up things to say and things to send without knowing the full scope of what happens. Julius probably needs reassurance as well, and he can be very demanding at times.
Really, she's tired. But these are things she has to do, even if it's to her detriment.
[ seriously don't give her heart attacks like this??????
He's obviously not fine, but what can she say? She can only go back to try and continue making tea. Once it's set to boil, she'll sit herself next to him. ]

smhhh rip
Thanks to Reika he's managing to calm down. ]
Shouldn't we go back home?
[At home they can just rest.]
no subject
We should. I'll make you tea.
[ And she can keep a watch on him, while she thinks. With that she tugs on his hand and starts walking back in. ]
no subject
[Oh, good thing Reika remembered to lock the door. He follows her into their home.]
After that we'll sleep. I need rest.

No one has to know. No one... ]

He lets out a loud scream as a form of stress relief. What if his scream is enough to worry Reika?]
no subject
Julius???!?!
no subject
[No he's not fine, don't believe his lies. Julius looks really worn out. He just lies down on the couch and tries to block out his own memories. ]

no subject
The tea was enough to knock him out. Julius doesn't have much energy left to spare.]
no subject
She moves him so he can sleep on her lap while she gathers her notes and thinks of what she should say. It's going to be a long night... ]
no subject
Julius is quiet until he starts screaming in his sleep also. Sweat drops from his face showing all she needs to see.]
no subject
Dealing with this while not waking him up though... it's more difficult. She takes his hand and gives it a slight squeeze. Maybe this would work. ]
no subject
Reika...
[Still thinking about her in his dreams.]
no subject
Quietly she strokes his hair so he can sleep better. ]
no subject
Her lap is comfortable. They'll stay like this for a long time.]
