[Sure, no problem. Julius prepares the hot water and tea kettle for her.]

Sleep early today.

[That's not a suggestion...he really does want her to rest.]

[p66]

Okay.

[ She's tired even though all she's done is sleep and read books. Maybe she should have invested in a music player. ]

Come sit next to me?

[ Moving to the sofa gives enough space for both of them. ]

[viscontree]

[He doesn't say anything. Quietly he moves over at her own request.

All Julius can really do is hold her hand and hope it helps.]

[p66]

[ She slips her arms around him when he comes over. It's a little awkward, but it works.

Being close to him calms her somewhat. ]

[viscontree]

[He doesn't say much when they're together this way. Reika will calm down soon enough.

She's strong, he believes in her.]

[p66]

[ He's just sort of... sitting there. ]

... Julius?

[viscontree]

[Julius looks up at her, completely attentive.]

Do you need something?

[Is she unwell? He's really concerned. ]

[p66]

Hold me...

[ Why is he not. holding her. ]

[viscontree]

[Julius hesitates to hold her at first, but then he does. His arms are shaking and he seems unsettled as well.

He didn't want her to know that..it's become obvious now though. They're both worried.]

[p66]

[ It does explain a lot. She has to stroke his hair gently to try and calm him down.

This is why she can't really relax, not even now. [

[viscontree]

I'm sorry....

[He's useless and she can't even rely on him when needed. Julius feels guilt for it. ]

[p66]

It's okay.

[ She leans against him closely. This is enough. ]

[viscontree]

[Julius holds her hand, shaking his head in regret. Why can't he be more useful when it's necessary?

It seems wrong.]

[p66]

[ If it keeps like this hel'l wallow again. She has to reassure him.

Gently she shifts herself so she can sit on his lap. Hopefully that makes him feel better. ]
