(   it  starts  out  small,    a  few  days  after  his  husband  brought  him  home.    khaslana  is  different,    more  reserved.   its  a  challenge  to  get  him  to  bond  with  meli—    but  not  in  the  way  it  would  have  been  five  years  ago.   there's  no  challenge  for  mydei's  love,   but..    its  something  else.   he's  more  reserved  around  mydei  too;    because  his  husband  feels  different,   he  can't  really  explain  it.   he  also  doesn't  sleep  in  their  bed—  is  it  still  their  bed?    it's  new.   it's  not  /safe./   he's  too  used  to  pain,   and  blood,   and—-      he  wakes  up  screaming  and  crying,    scars  aching  underneath  his  clothes.    through  his  tears,    the  first  thing  he  recognizes  is  a  ball  of  fluff  laying  on  his  lap  in  comfort.    the  second  is  the  feeling  of  mydei's  arms  wrapping  around  him  slowly.   khaslana's  voice  is  small  when  he  blinks  through  tears  enough  to  settle  on  the  baker's  face.  )    my ..  dei..  mos?

(    his  shoulders   visibly  relax  slightly  at  the  kiss,   quietly  wrapping  an  arm  around  him.   khaslana  all  but  leans  into  the  touch.   )    ...   i  know.   but  i-    i  didn't  want..   to  wake  you  up  with  my  dreams.  (   well..   maybe  calling  them  dreams  is  a  bit  of  a  stretch.   they're  more  like  night  terrors.   )

i  suppose  they're  similar?     although..   they  don't  usually  involve  competitions  that  include  fighting.

i  know.
