◆ ― ❛ Then you go tell those monsters that Big Laeik is gonna go get them first, that should keep them away. ❜ An arm wrapped around his little brother, pulling him up on their chest. ❛ You can stay here if you want tonight, but you’ll have to sleep in your bed tomorrow, alright? ❜ They were too tired for this. Their duties required much of their time and energy, leaving little patience at the end of the day when they should be sleeping. Yet they would always have the patience for their little brother. He was too young to understand, but he would eventually learn. Just like they did. They only hoped that it would be later on in his life, or gods help them all.
◆ ― ❛ Wha... what if they come back? ❜ The young boy asked, eyes wide and glossed over. ❛ I stay, ❜ little hands touched his sibling’s face, ❛ I stay right here. ❜ He’d fall asleep soon, he was beyond exhausted from running around and causing trouble all day, his little body could only take so much. One of his hands remained on his sibling’s face, the other moved around their neck so he could comfortably cuddle them if necessary. Already, his heavy lids closed, long lashes sticking together — but he wasn’t asleep, not yet at least. Usually, he’d try to wait until Laeiknarr was asleep before falling asleep himself, always afraid they’d leave him in the middle of the night. Tonight, however, it was clear that the boy would fall asleep far before Laeiknarr would.
