[Claude sighs as Dimitri's warmth begins to seep into him. It's not nearly as fast a process as he'd like, but it's already an improvement over not having him there, and that's all that matters.]

What's that mean...? Is it another language?

Oh...I have a nickname now, too?

[Claude is touched, despite those names still not making any kind of sense to him. They don't seem to have anything to do with anything; some of them seem vaguely related to the original names, while others...don't at all.]

Does it mean something...? [Maybe the names are in some other language...?]

[Fortunately, Claude is also sick and operating at roughly the same capacity, so his brain takes 'finisher' and interprets it as 'suffix', or something like it, easily enough. Some part of the mysterious nickname structure that's required. They all seem to end with the letter A, after all.]

I love you too...I don't ever want to leave you. [Claude burrows a little closer, with a faint stirring of unease; the shadows of some of his fears from after Sylvain came back to them are flickering on the walls of his mind.] Any of you.
vrdantwind: (Everything you need)

[Claude can't help melting at that. It's the kind of promise some part of him has been aching to hear...and here Dimitri is, making it to him. That even if he ends up alone again, it won't be for long. That wherever they go, and whatever happens, the men who love him will come for him.

Some part of him - the Almyran part of him, or at least the part of him that tries to at least appear to be properly Almyran - feels mortified by all of this. By his sickness and vulnerability, certainly, but more than that by his neediness. That desire to be cared for and reassured. He should be strong, and capable, and self-sufficient; he should have the skill and capability to care for others, while not needing any outside help in caring for himself.

So perhaps it speaks something of his need, then, that despite the internal cringing, a whisper escapes him anyway.]
...can you say it again?
vrdantwind: (I got things to do)

[Claude sinks even further into Dimitri's arms, with a sigh of relief that seems to come all the way from the core of him. His logical mind, when it's back online, may try to poke holes in this promise, in the feasibility of his lovers to realistically keep it. But right now...he can just let himself believe it, wholeheartedly. Besides, Dimitri would never lie to him.]

I love you...
