Listless Leo

The night was heavy. Evan kept hugging Leo as if trying to assure her of her presence.

Every moment, hissing of leaves or rustling of curtains forced him to hold his sword and sat up on the bed. 

"Everything would be fine. You do not need to worry about it." she said as  she rubbed his back.

He nodded but his eyes were still looking restless.

As if he was waiting for his other to come and tell him more about that cousin of his.

"Evan what if.." he paused as if he did not know how to explain.

"Then you will win again. You have thrown the man out once, you can do it again." she assured him when he sighed as if she was not understanding. 

His healing properties were threatening. Even when Leo was sure at his attacks, the man would never die. Then how could he be defeated.

"You must be tired. Why don't you sleep again?" she asked as she pulled him to her laps and ran a hand in his hair.
