(Welcome here again and again and thank you so much <3)
Kim and Porchay decided to stay for the night in a small inn from the neighboring country, close enough from boundaries to reach Porchay's father camp quickly. The war couldn't be heard but the face of every villager was worried, terrified or anxious. Some looked at them badly, wondering who they were and why their swords could be seen. Every step was watched, every look, everyone tense about the outcome. The woman taking care of the inn also advised them to go away as soon as they could. She didn't want to find her customers in a bad shape, in her own country, in her own bed. Most people prefer to die than to kill anyone. No one was ready for any war, all praying quietly for it to end.
"It was...heavy..." Porchay said sitting on the bed.
"Yes..." Kim answered, looking through the window. The closer they were to the place they should reach the more Kim was feeling bad. He had a bad aura spreading over him and he didn't know if it was real or if it was created by his mind. He didn't really touch Porchay since they separated, they let their horses to someone who would know how to take care of them. He was surprised to be gifted new animals but he also understood their will to not hurt them whatever they would do. He prayed for them when they went away.
And Kim didn't know why he just didn't hug Porchay like Porsche did. He was suffering from needs but he also didn't want to fulfill them. What if it was the last time? What if he wouldn't be able to remember it? If he was touching Porchay in their situation he would only see his mother through him. Another father menacing him. Another father taking away from him someone precious. He just didn't want to fall apart and he really was persuaded that not answering his thoughts was the thing to do.
"P'Kim, did you hear me?"
"Wha-what?" He said not turning around.
"I asked you what P'Kinn said to you..."
"Well...kinda...shocked...kinda taking it into consideration but not acknowledging it..."
"How could he not?" Porchay reacted, feeling furious.
"Chay...he might think that I was too young...or mistaken...or I don't know but...it shouldn't be easy for him to reject what he believed was always the truth..."
"And ? Whatever, he should have... I can't believe it...I am going to scold him..."
"How...how can you believe it this easily?"
"P'Kim, it's hard for you to talk so I don't see you confessing a lie, also who would invent this? And...I saw you..I never saw you this vulnerable and human than that night..."
