we live or endure

WHEN: 6/24, late afternoon
WARNINGS: Old people talking about things
FORMAT: No


Blue had struggled with the growing frustration of his own limitations for a long time, but at that moment, it felt more palpable than ever. How much had happened and how many people he knew were enduring troubles? All he could do is hear about it from afar. Kiden, Remus...And even though others had taken steps to help...

He pressed his hand on the window he stood before in the living area and his attention was drawn away from the summer scenery to the tired, red-eyed face reflected therein. He didn't look three centuries old, but he felt it. As accommodating as Jomy and his new friends in that house were, when he was alone like this he couldn't help but feel that gnawing sense of dread.

What can I do for them? Will I only be the burden?

Blue was already on the move before his friend had given his reply. He still frowned a little, pouring the tea. He had never considered himself very domestic, nor could he remember the time in his life when he could have been, but...making something like that seemed to be something he ought to be able to do with a little more success.

Regardless, he gave Remus the cup upon returning to the room and returned to his place, standing behind the chair again. There, he stayed and observed him, tilting his head just a little at the tint of his freshly blinded eye. He would ask of it, but Remus seemed to have enough fussing for a while.

"I hope that surprise incident was the only thing giving you problems, Remus," Blue remarked. "Things have picked up, though, and you show up less often than you used to."

Taking the cup, he smiled gratefully before he took a sip.

"It's good. There's no need to say otherwise," he said as he lowered the cup, looking a bit guilty at having his absence so quickly pointed out. "There's been very little time between work and assisting Miles with Ruka. My recent injuries hadn't helped much either. I hope every thing has been all right here?"

Blue had hardly any acquaintence with Miles--odd, perhaps, considering how close he and Remus were. He made note to do something to remedy that in the future. Ruka...well, his first conversation with the girl was centered around Remus' condition. Another person in the 'should already know' category. There were many.

"As quiet as they can be," Blue replied. "It is a welcome change. The energy here still comes from Felicia, moreso now that she has that event of hers in the works."

"That's good at least," Remus reminded himself to try and find some time to speak to Felicia as he lightly turned the cup in his hands, watching the liquid move with it before realizing what he wanted to ask.

"Has Sirius come back or has he found somewhere else to stay?"
