And I can't help if things come out [closed]

Date & Time: Sunday Sept 8th, 11:30 am
Location: Unit 102
Characters: Saori Nakagawa [personal profile] needsteaplz and Margulis [personal profile] misplacedxsheath 
Summary: Saori and Margulis are now minus one Lee Chaolan and there's a much needed talk between friends.
Warnings:  PG for possible language and feels getting smashed into bits. Will be changed when appropriate

Sunday is the one day the Uji tea house is closed. This meant Saori stayed in the apartment. Both her and Margulis's biggest fear had been confirmed a few days ago. Lee Chaolan, was no longer in Exsilium. The apartment didn't feel the same without him. Even Mana the cat tried to seek comfort for his absence by sleeping in places where Lee's scent was the strongest. 

The apartment is too quiet for her. Margulis took the loss of his boyfriend hard was an understatement. She gave Margulis some space to himself but it was becoming clear a talk was needed.  In their year of becoming friends back in Prospero and now here in Exsilium, she had never seen Margulis like this. The big question was how to approach this.

While she was preparing lunch of her usual spicy curry, she looked over her shoulder to where Margulis sat.  

"Hey, Margulis...?"

Margulis was sitting with a book, one of many on ancient mythology he'd picked up in Japan. It was an attempt to distract himself from how empty the apartment felt, though it wasn't really an effective one. That trip had been when Lee first confessed his feelings, when Margulis had had a major argument with himself over his own emotions and when he had finally acknowledged his own interest. Even Paschar was silent, lacking in words of advice from the side of Margulis' emotions that he usually deigned to ignore.

He lowered the book at the sound of his name, looking over with a frown.

"What?"

It came out more terse than he meant, but he doubted Saori would take it personally. She'd known him for over a year now, it was impossible for her not to have learned that he didn't always mean it when he snapped.

He was silent for a moment as he closed the book. Ordinarily, he would have just brushed her concerns off and insisted he was fine. But Saori was one of the few people he outright trusted and one of the few who seemed to actually understand what went on in his mind. Still, he doesn't look at her as he speaks.

"I let myself get closer to Chaolan than anyone else thus far."
