Janus raised a brow. “...Kid, how come you’re eating candy so early in the morning?”

{Hi sorry, motivation go brrr} Janus got up and went to the guest room.

Patton slowly nodded. His voice had been soft and raspy from disuse. He looked at Virgil. Would it scare him if he talked more..?

Patton made a soft, shaky noise. He was trembling, and still seemed very terrified of the human, but he said, “...A-Are you okay..?”

“...Forget it.” Patton sighed as he turned away. “...Just... please... don’t hurt him.” He began to walk away.

Emile smiled brightly, tearing up a bit himself. Janus grinned. “Get over here, Patt!!”
