Yeah.

I'd... I'd like to stop to see if there are new books. Possibly.

[devoutish]

Sure, yeah. Of course we'll do that.

[bywolves]

This is different. [ Royce says after a moment. ] This level of... whatever it is poisoning I have. I can feel, but what I feel isn't pleasant.

It's disconcerting to try and figure out which one I prefer.

[devoutish]

I know what you're feeling.

[It's the same thing Alfie himself has been feeling for months.]

Do you need to try to figure out which you prefer?

[bywolves]

No, I... suppose I don't need to know. [ He frowns. ] I know which is easier.

[devoutish]

Not feeling is.

[He's sure enough of that that he doesn't even phrase it as a question.]

[bywolves]

Mm. [ He sighs. ] It is so much easier to get through this when I can't find it in me to be upset.

[devoutish]

Scarier for me, though. Is that selfish?

[bywolves]

No. It isn't.

It's easier for me, but it isn't easier for you. If anything that makes me selfish.

[devoutish]

Mm.

With each other, I think we both suffer from selfishness and selflessness.

[bywolves]

I think you're right.

[ He pets at Alfie's hair absently. Just something to do with his hand. ]

You are the only thing that matters anymore.

[devoutish]

Yeah.

[He nudges Royce's leg.]

Go to sleep, mate.

[bywolves]

[ He nods a little, falling silent. Sleep is easy, these days, and he very slowly sinks into a light doze, holding onto Alfie loosely where he's sitting.

Eventually he'll probably sink down to actually lay out, but for now, he's fine here. ]
