If you need to get a hold of me quick for a job, contact me over the amulets. If not, shove it in the mailbox outside.

"You were. I figured that was it."

It's not terrible, and she's not mad. If anything, Cae just seems more... distant.

"It's fine. Not like I can stop it, an' I probably do the same."

It just... hurts.

He sighs.

"I can't... I can't tell you I don't love her or miss her. And after what happened to my son, I guess I..."

Guilt? That he didn't do right by their kid.

He shakes his head.

"But you're who I want to be with right now."

"Don't worry about it."

Well, worry for her, that is. She sighs and shakes her head.

"If you'd rather be here with me, though, I won't tell you to leave or anythin' like that. I'm not that cruel." Not usually! But as long as she's good enough for him, she won't tell him to take a hike or anything like that.

"Yeah?" he hums, quiet, thoughtful. "That's what I want. What do you want?"

He's not completely blind to his own selfishness, even though he enjoys trying to mold people to his wishes.

"If I haven't thrown you out on your arse, that should tell you what I want, aye?"

Because no, she really doesn't mind him here.

"I just need a bit of time, is all."

He huffs in amusement. He wants to hug her but he holds himself back, reaching to cover her hand and give it a light squeeze instead. Pulling away a few seconds later and rising to his feet.

"I'm going back inside. Holler if you need me, alright? I'll try not to break anything when I go back to bed."

A soft chuckle as he looks back at her. A little sad but understanding. She still wants him around. They can make it work. Hopefully.
