you.
delight's thoughts are a five car pile up, crashing behind his eyes. the collision is almost enough to let alarian slip away -- but he moves on instinct, flinging himself across the den to block the governor's exit. "no," he says, the sound coming out in a gasp, "you don't get to -- you don't get to do that, alarian, you don't get to say that and just -- just run off!"
it's patently ridiclous -- delight is a mere slip of a boy, wildly fluffed streaks of umber painted as a blockade against the pinked-out sky. his thoughts still whirr too quickly for him to really process what's happening, but there's no going back now. he'll take the plunge.
"because," oh how does he, "because i was thinking about you, too."
delight's eyes cut twin moons, sharp and anxious: get it?
but we were worried that you'd fallen in the river, or worse
but then you sent us back a letter, it said in capital letters
"THE UNIVERSE IS GOING TO CATCH YOU"
but then you sent us back a letter, it said in capital letters
