He’s doing fine tonight. And earning even more of Balthier’s trust.

“I will tell you mint with conviction, but I truly don’t know how much of that is habit and childhood fondness. I won’t be offended if you decide not to drink it. Sit. Eat.”

He disappears back to the kitchen long enough to make a pot of mint tea with the already boiled water then returns with that and mugs.

While David was in the shower he changed as well, and now he sits cross legged on the couch beside him, putting his hand on David’s leg.

“I’m glad you came.”
