Yes. Z'jan thought to himself in answer. We do seem... completely fucked.
He cleared his throat, still looking down at his own hand running slow, small, nervous energy circles against O'wain's chest.
"Yeah," he started. His voice seemed strong enough, though still wasn't sure he could trust it. "I didn't...uh." Ribbons of guilt tied his stomach into knots. This wasn't how things were supposed to happen. Only idiots like Z'jan got themselves in these predicaments. And he didn't have any excuses, except that he'd been oblivious... and an idiot. To let Ghalath rise here... to not see that his fucking dragon was glowing...
Z'jan cleared his throat again, to collect himself. "I'm sorry," he said, stiffly. "It wasn't supposed to be... like this. I didn't..." but that sentence trailed off.
A strange taste filled his mouth. He ran his tongue tip over his own lips, discovering the split that he'd reopened by speaking. Wonderful. Just a wonderful fucking day.
"Someone will... come by... eventually."
Z'jan's efforts not to sound pitiful only made him seem more pathetic.
"Right?"
