After Dinah had left, Syryn began to pack up everything in the room. He wanted to be prepared for a move to another room as soon as possible. Gosan was sleeping alone but Syryn found it unbearable to leave Lucien by himself even for a few minutes.
"Syryn," a small voice called out to him and it was like being hit by a bolt of lightning. Lucien was awake. The boy was sitting up on the bed and groggily rubbing his eyes. "I'm hungry."
"Ok, I'll get you something." The alchemist responded softly, afraid that he might scare the child back into sleep. The relief that was flooding his body felt like a shower of refreshing rain on a hot summer's day. "Don't fall asleep till you've had something, Lucien. I'll be right back." Syryn wasn't sure who it was that he was talking to. It sounded like Luci but it also could have been Red.
The redhead nodded and leaned his head on the wall. "I'll wait."
