Even if the relief he felt was quickly swallowed by his fear, once again, a hornet’s nest buzzing inside him. But that was fine. So long as Basil didn’t know… then Sunny wouldn’t have to answer.
He could just avoid it for now. Avoid it long enough that, maybe, the why and the how would be nicely painted over… but… that wasn’t right, was it? That was how he had hidden the Truth… and that eventually surfaced again.
Sunny avoided that particular train of thought. He didn’t want to be reminded of the similarities between then and now. Of him leaning on Basil yet again.]
L-light… [His free hand pointed upwards at a raised city. Would he even have the strength to make it up there? He could feel the weakness continue to lay in his bones. Basil would know what he meant. He always did.]
