[Oh boy. Basil’s question causes Sunny’s heart to skip a beat… and not in a good way.
If it was possible for his heart to hammer any louder… he was pretty sure it would wake the dead. Basil, for sure, would be able to hear it, Sunny knew that.
His sole gaze darted around. For what? An escape? He wasn’t in any condition to run and… wasn’t running away what had gotten him and Basil in this desperate situation in the first place?
But shoot, he was taking too long to answer, even for himself. Basil would know, Basil would tell… nothing good could come of this. His answer sounded hollow to his own ears.]
N-not here…
[Was that good enough? It was an answer, wasn’t it. But… that didn’t really give Basil any context either. The truth bubbled in his chest, panic churned in his stomach.]
/distressed laugh XD
