Kell wants to protest, to say something, but there's a glint in his brother's eyes that makes his pause, forces him to remain silent. He sinks down back on the bed, shoulders sagging, half-empty glass almost forgotten in his hand.

It feels so unfair. What he is supposed to do? He didn't mean to imply that it's been all sunshine and roses for his brother. They both lost their ground coming here. And to add to that, Rhy is tethered to this Singularity, source of magic or whatever it is. Still, he was able to find people here. Not one, but two lovers.

Kell? He has no one but him. No place he can even pretend he fits in. And now he really doesn't know what his brother wants from him. It's wrong when he says he believes they still need each other, it's wrong when says that Rhy is doing well on his own. It seems everything he says or does is wrong. What he is supposed to do? Apologize for trying? He could. Would it help? How he's supposed to know...
