And it came to pass that in time the Great God Tholassi spake unto Sataro, the Chosen One:
“Psst!”
Yes. That makes sense.
"What was wrong?" he says, puts one hand on the back of Ashka's head, holds him protectively.
"You wanted to stop seeing each other and introduce me to other people, and I'm — not good at people and not good at words and didn't know how to say the thing that was bothering me and still don't, and you kept pushing, and I could tell I was going to start crying or panicking and you had said we couldn't do that again anyway so — I left before that could happen."
Ashka hugs Sataro and puts his face in Sataro's hair
"--There is nothing I want more than to keep seeing you."
"You're very easy to like."
He kisses the patch of skin in front of him, which at the moment is Ashka's shoulder.
"I like the sounds you make. — I can stop if there's something you need to concentrate on."
