I sigh and walk up to him.
   "My king." I spoke.
"What are you doing here alastor.." He mumbled, scooting away from me.
"I think you're forgetting I could hear a pin drop on the other side of the hotel." I say. "Is this about Lilith.?"
   I see his lip quiver and he starts to cry again. Shit. I don't feel comfortable hugging him and I doubt he'd feel comfortable with it either.
"Get out.."
"I'm sorry my leige I just cannot do that." I respond. "Charlie feels awful and crying yourself to sleep will not fix it, nor help charlie."
Theres a long moment of silence, not even a sniffle from him. But then he scoots back towards me and rest his body against mine. I tense up.
   "I can't talk to her about this." He says.
I stay still.
   "Your majesty, I know we don't know each other well but as someone important to charlie I must make sure you're okay. So I am here to listen."
More silence.
"She didn't just up and leave. Our marriage was failing. We both saw it coming but..charlie..she was just so young.." He mumbles. "I don't have the heart to tell her."
I hum. "Well it has been eight years. You have to tell her at some point."
More silence. He really is quiet.
"How am I supposed to tell her."
I sigh and stand up.
"You told me." I respond, and leave the room before he can say anything more.
                                       ...
I'm laying in my bed, I've listened to his sobs for hours, and now faint snoring. I have the urge to go in there again. I didn't hear footsteps. Or any movement at all. So he's probably still on the floor..no. Alastor what is wrong with you. You must've hit your head! I sigh, and shift in bed, turning to a small king with puffy eyes standing next to my bed. "Gah!" I sit up "lucifer what are you doing in here!" I spit out.
He frowns. God he's so cute..no! Alastor stop.
"I'm sorry.." he mumbles. "I can't sleep.."
I sigh. "How do you suppose I help with that?" I ask.
       He looks so..depressed..god I can't believe what I'm about to do..
