Summary
Finally, Orym speaks. A hushed confession, not trembling but not quite steady either. “I feel so tired, Dorian.”
A few months ago, Dorian would not have understood. Would have tried. Would have known, at least, that Orym does not mean that he’d like to sleep. Now he knows more than that. Knows it is a physical exhaustion tied to something heavier, more whole. Bone deep in the sense that the marrow is where love lives, achy in the sense that the marrow is where loss lives, too.
Tired from the restlessness of trying to fill something that will always be hollowed.
His answer now is the same as it would have been then. “Rest awhile,” he murmurs. “I’ll carry it for you.”
How does one lay down a sword? How does one forgive the unforgiveable? How does one love things that are bound to leave? Orym is meant to have the answers and he doesn’t. Dorian won’t ask him the questions, anyways.
The days after were easy but the year after aches. They face it together, just the same.
