[... If she thinks he'd complain about being carried, she's gained a fundamental misunderstanding of who Louis is as a person--
But he does nod and make his way over to the sofa, collapsing into it completely.

Give him a second, he's gotta catch his breath. Complete with a hand on his chest like his non-existent heart is going to give out on him.]

You... upcoming, something soon, I-I -
Foresaw... something. For you. This month. Soon.

[A pause, nice and long as his breath starts to calm down to something normal. Ridiculous, he can't help but think, considering he doesn't NEED to breathe.]

... No matter what happens, please - promise me you will stay home.

[abnormalizes]

[She sits down beside him and reaches for his hand to squeeze, not minding how cold it is, only seeking to comfort him.]

I promise I'll stay home. I'll be as safe as I can.

[splittingheadache]

[That hand's going to be taken in both of his, then, as he brings it up to press his cheek onto.
Half out of that comfort... half just thanks to how tired he is from that short run.]

Thank you... It was - I-- I know I haven't told you, but I... never thought I would get visions here, too -
My magic... rules perception. Perception of the future lies within that.

I saw a vision of you striking out against your loved ones, pain and regret in your face and blood on your hands... filled with fear as your movements were not your own.

[And now he'll sit up again, purely so he can look her in the eyes.]

... I do not know what that entails. Nor how... it will come to that.
But I have heard how the mongrels running this place enjoy enlisting us as their pawns, throwing us as cannon fodder at the nearest problem -

So please... for your sake.

[Stay home.]

[abnormalizes]

-Thank you for telling me. I promise I'll stay home.

[If it was just a vision of her getting hurt, that would be one thing - but hurting her loved ones is unacceptable.

With her free arm, she goes in for a gentle hug.]

[splittingheadache]

[- Automatically, his hand comes up to grip the front of her shirt as he curls into her hold.
He doesn't even get enough hugs to justify just how automatic the motion is - he doesn't get any at all - and yet...]

... If you manage to get tangled up in something after this warning, please bear in mind, I will kill you for it.
I am only half joking. I will be furious.
So very furious.

[abnormalizes]

I'll deserve it for causing you that much distress.

[She holds him close, rubbing his back soothingly.]

[splittingheadache]

Especially after I ran like that.

[Yes, hello, hw's going to soak up all of this attention thank you??
Even letting his eyes gently close for the time being... the amount of trust is almost palpable, here.]

... It was a bit harrowing, I must admit. Seeing you go through that.
You must care so deeply about those around you.

[abnormalizes]

They're the best things that ever happened to me. I usually say being brought to Ellipsa is, but that's only because of the people I met here.

[A squeeze for his other hand.]

...The idea of being forced to hurt them like that is terrifying.
