The Flower illness

~Fifth chapter~

- Since Barbatos  is asleep and looks really tired we will live the discussion for later, when he wakes up.

- What Ei is trying to say is that we will live you alone now and come back later.

After Barbatos woke up.

- How are you feeling?

- Much better, thank you.

- That's good to hear. By the way Ei and Yae Miko came over while you were sleeping.

- Really, what bring's them here?

- Well they sad we have to discuss something about the upcoming meeting.

- Oh, okay.

A few hours later Ei and Yae Miko arrived.

- "What did you want to discuss about?"sad Morax

- "Well Ei was wandering if you were planing on telling other Archons about your relationship."sad Miko

- "Honesty I am still debating on should we tell them about our relationship."sad Morax

- "I think you should tell them. They are going to be your colleagues after all.
I mean it's not like deity's weren't in a relationship before."sad Miko

- "You have a point but  it worry's me what will they think of it." sad Barbatos

- "I understand what you mean, that's why we came here. I thought that maybe if you decide to tell them we could all do it together then nether of us will be by ourselves when facing the potential criticism."sad Ei

- "You are right."sad Miko

-  "Morax can a talk to you for a moment?"sad Ei

- "Of course"sad Morax

- "What do you think they are going to be like?"sad Miko

- "The other Archons, I don't know but I hope we will get along well with them."sad Barbatos

- " I hope so too. However you still have a few months untill the next Archon meeting."sad Miko

Meanwhile with Ei and Morax

- "I am sorry of this is a bit to personal but I always wondered why dose he ware long sleeved cloths even in summer?"

- "Well I am not sure how aware of it you are, but Barbatos often takes other people's opinion to hart. What others think of them and say to them has a great influence on their self love. They don't think thay are worth most of what they have nor that they deserve it. So they ended up hurting themselves a few times.

- "I had no idea his opinion of himself was that bad nor that he is likely to selfharm."

- "I know."

- "It must be hard seeing him like that."

- "You have no idea."

- "Dose that mean his happiness..."

- "They are good at masking ther true feelings and rare are those who they trust enough to be completely themselves with. Don't take it to personal you are a good friend to them they just didn't spend enough time with you to trust being completely themselves with you."

- "I see, I never knew that side of him."

- "There is much more to them that meets the eye."

- .......

Arter Morax and Ei came back

- "I and Miko won't be bothering you anymore."sad Ei

- "What, you want to live already."sad Miko

- "Yes Miko, the trip to Inazuma will take a while anyway so we better get going."sad Ei

- "We'll see you on the meeting then."sad Miko

- "See you, have a safe trip."sad Barbatos

- "Thank you!"sad Ei

After Ei and Yae Miko left

- That reminders me Lantern Rite is next week. If you want to we can go back to Liyue together and I could give you a tour if the city.

- Sounds like a good idea to me.

-Let's pack then and we can go tomorrow.

- Okay.

After packing

- Is there anything you want to do?

- Can we cuddle?

- Of course we can.

They cuddled and soon fell  asleep.
