It was about an hour after Swift's apology to Hadriel that Seel made it into the bedroom that Swift had barricaded himself into. True, Swift had unlocked the door after it became apparent Seel was
not going to throw a raging fit and Swift wasn't actually in physical jeopardy. Clarity came unexpectedly in the form of texts from both Atem and Cashmere; a look at himself he didn't expect to get. Afterwards, he stared at his phone, getting up and walking to the door before walking back over to the couch, and back again, working up the courage to open the door and talk to the one har he actually needed too.
What had Atem said?
As long as it doesn't hurt you? Well shit. That was the entire problem wasn't it? Cash had summed it up beautifully as well.
When you had no control over anything you had to take anything any way you can get it. Seel had made more progress in that last hour than he had over the last forty five years. Maybe that alone made this hellhole worth it.
Gathering his courage, he knocked on the door, and pushed it open slowly. How had this become their relationship? That Swift had locked himself in a room in order to be safe from him? He really wasn't any different than Ponclast after all. Just more civilized. Seel dressed it up in civility and grace, while Ponclast embraced it. That wasn't who he wanted to be, dammit.
