Tears began to form in Leaxa's eyes as he lifted Tobyn and held him bridally. He carried him off to his room and carefully set him down on his bed. He covered him with the covers, before he gave him another quick peck on the cheek.

Afterwards, Leaxa went to the guest bedroom to grabbed his leather apparel. He slipped it on, went back to Tobyn's room, then sat on the floor beside his bed. He reached out and held one of his hands in both of his own.

It was half an hour before Tobyn forced himself awake. It was the bare minimum he could get away with without succumbing to exhaustion again any time soon, and on a hair trigger of fear it wasn't hard to persuade his body up.

"Leaxa-" He gasped as soon as he awoke, sitting up and looking for him immediately. When he realised he was by his side, holding his hand, he teared up. "You're alive! You're still alive!!" He wasted no time in slipping out of bed onto the floor, pulling Leaxa into a tight embrace.

Leaxa hugged Tobyn for a moment before pulling back. He slipped away and rose to his feet, then offered him a still shaky hand. He couldn't bare to touch him with non-leather and being on the floor like that made him feel worried for him.

Tobyn took his hand and got to his feet, talking a moment to breathe a few deep breaths and try to calm himself. He was certain that they weren't truly in the clear yet, but for now they were together, in private, and alive. That was all he could ask after such an ordeal. "Are- are you okay? No, sorry, stupid question after all that-" he scolded himself.

Leaxa didn't particularly feel like talking right then. He had done enough talking to last the rest of his life; he gave a slight nod in response to his question. He hugged him for a moment before pulling back again and taking his hand in both of his own.

Tobyn stood with him in silence for a moment, closing his eyes and tipping his head forward slightly. Less than an hour ago he had been fully convinced that they were both headed for the end of the line, so to instead be stood there with him.. "Is it alright if I get my leather on and just... Hold you, for a bit?" He asked quietly. "I'm - stars, I really thought I was going to see you die,"

"Yeah," he said quietly. Leaxa took his hands back and headed out of his room. He went to sit quietly in the living room as he waited. He stared silently at the empty basket of fruit - maybe if he got him more fruit, Tobyn would feel better? He felt bad for causing him so much trauma...

Tobyn was quick to get changed, just being alone in the room making his skin crawl. He half expected Castor to appear out of thin air the moment he was unattended, though the god of chaos was probably eagerly planning the first of many acts of war with the other malicious deities.

Once dressed he left the room and went to get Leaxa, relieved that he was truly there, alive and well - or physically well, at least.

Leaxa stood, then walked over to him, extending out his arms. When they hugged, he closed his eyes to prevent himself from crying. Today had been an emotional and mental roller coaster for both of them, but at least they were both still living. And were together.

Tobyn hugged him tightly, as if letting go would let him go from existence entirely. He rubbed his back with one hand, in an attempt to bring him comfort. It was a lot easier to put a brave face on when he was putting someone else's feelings as priority. "When you want to talk about it - if you want to talk about it.." He whispered softly. "I'm here."
