"I can see that," Creius says and then asks X, "how much did he drink?"

Something must've been showing on his face, because Creius asked, "is there a problem, Paravyan?"

Summary
"If he tries to gouge his eyes out—not literally—it just means he needs pressure," Yermolai was saying to Name Day, "and if he complains about a stiff neck you just have to decapitate him—also not literally."

Summary
"I have realised that whatever our relationship is, it's not what everyone expects of us."
Medicine Pocket shifts their head and gently bites her finger to get her to move her hand, which she does and they ask, "why does it matter to you?"
"It just does, I can't explain it," Hissabeth says honestly, "I don't mind not putting a label on it, but between us at least, I need to define it. Is it just sex, or is there something more?"-----
After a hookup leads to some casual sex between friends, Hissabeth finds herself questioning if she wants more.

Summary
Creius went still, brow furrowed, and slowly lifted his head, eyes landing on Name Day's arm. The furrow deepened before finally, his eyes went wide, "what happened?"
From the couch, Yermolai laughed, "I was wondering how long it would take you to notice."
"Shut up," Creius huffed before he stood and came over to stand in front of Name Day, asking again, "what happened?"-----
Name Day breaks his arm and Creius dotes on him.

Summary
Name Day shakes his head and squeezes his eyes shut, the words he so desperately needs to say on the tip of his tongue and yet the dog claws them back down his throat, refusing to let them free. It wants him to suffer, to drown, despite Name Day's silent pleas for it to let him go. "I…"
His throat closes up the second he tries to say more, but Enigma just waits. He just waits.
The tears are running down Name Day's face before he can stop them, and it's only then, that he can get the words out, "I need help. I can't get up the slope on my own."
-----
Name Day finds himself struggling, worse than he has in a long time, and those around him, try to keep him from shattering.

Summary
"What happened to you?" Yermolai said to him the moment his eyes landed on Paravyan's drenched form.
He sighed, "got caught in the rain."
"Looks a bit more than that, you're all scratched up."
"Oh, there was an incident with a child on skates. She lost control and crashed into me, but she's okay." Paravyan said, moving down the hall towards his room, only to be stopped by Marsha. He jerked back from her reaching hands. "I'm okay too."-----

Summary
"How much of a pillow do you want?" Hissabeth asks.
Medicine Pocket just sits up and gives Hissabeth the space to slip further onto the couch, slotting themselves between her legs, much like how they had a couple of nights ago, but this time they lay on their side—partially on their stomach—and press their face into her stomach. "Like this is good."

"I—" he breaks off and forces himself to take a slow breath, "I—control. I don't have control."

"Indeed you were. Although, we weren't expecting you to just collapse mid-sentence." Hissabeth said. "I don't think Ulrich was either, it's the first time I've seen him speechless."
"Good, fish bowl needs to shut up more." Medicine Pocket let their eyes slip shut, but a gentle pinch forced them into opening them again.-----

"Saw you struggling on the bank, then you both disappeared and figured something was wrong."

"May I?" Creius said, offering an arm to him, and Name Day nodded, looping his arm with Creius'.
