[HIEN PLEASE KEEP YOUR HEART ALIVE

once he's aware of someone's presence, though, he flinches away. sorry, hien...]

[selfconcept]

[ sorry this is his ic trigger but he will power through it

He notices him flinching away, but again, he's... used to it. The environment makes him feel like he's looking at someone else, but he shakes his head to get that thought out of his head. ]

"It's okay... I won't hurt you."

[lucentia]

[he looks at him uncertainly, if blearily through the cold.]

I-If you're not here to kill me... then who are you?

[selfconcept]

"My name is Hien, and I'll help you get warm."

[ He's not going to use his cloak to help with that because he doesn't want to suck child Lucien in and cause some possible irreversible void trauma, so he takes that off and then his hoodie sweater to put the latter over Lucien's head and to pull it down. There. Was he lying down? He steadied him up. Sorry for the abrupt positioning. ]

[lucentia]

[not the void trauma. lucien is too sick/startled to do anything but let hien position him.]

... Thank you.

[although there's still an uncertain look on his face like he doesn't understand why hien is helping him.]

[selfconcept]

[ Hope he enjoys the lingering body heat in that hoodie sweater. ]

"Let's get you a warmer place too. The weather and snow would kill you before anyone else would get to."

[ So Hien picks Lucien up by the sides and holds him close to his chest. Up you go. ]

[lucentia]

Wha—!?

[startled... he freezes up with the wide-eyed look of someone not used to being held this way.]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien holds him close while making his way to the manor... Please. Their warmth. ]

"You're too cold."

[lucentia]

[...

he's still kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop, but the warmth IS nice so he curls into hien a bit.]

[selfconcept]

[ Cute... Hien just holds onto him closer.

They finally arrive at the manor where it's a little warmer. He places child Lucien on a comfortable chair, leaves, comes back with two blankets, and adjusts it carefully around the child. ]

[lucentia]

[accepts this... though he's wondering—]

... Why are you doing this for me?

[selfconcept]

"Anyone who's a decent human being would do this for you."

[ Just... saying.

get warm idiod ]

[lucentia]

... People don't usually...

[his voice trails off as he huddles in his blankets. getting warmd...]

[selfconcept]

"Then they're not decent human beings."

[ He says that firmly as he adjusts the blankets around Lucien some more for optimal warmth. ]

[lucentia]

... They can't all be bad, though.

[surely if everyone is one way then that means he's the problem.....]
