Swiftcurrent Creek In a space ship

Everything hurts where it shouldn’t. Helios wants to curl around on himself, to cry out, and for that pain to disappear. His breath having been taken from him again in such a short time frame really knocked him out. Instead of appearing weak, however, he works on calming his breathing.

« I’m fine,  » Helios sounds far from fine, but Zephyr is correct; telling the truth in this situation is a taboo. His eyes flicker, breath finally being caught, and he watches carefully as Zephyr observes him. A wheeze escapes him once more as his sibling flops onto him. Body lowkey screaming that it is just starting to recover and cannot take more weight upon him.

He wiggles a bit, trying to ease the silver sibling so he is tucked near his belly instead.
