Summary
"It is just us, you do not need to float," Caleb points out then, and Essek stops just outside of Caleb's vision, only the hem of the mantle giving away his location. "I already know your predicament and position, and after what you have divulged to us this evening, you do not need to keep up appearances around us."
"That is a fair point," he says from somewhere behind Caleb, the sound slightly off in direction from what he can tell, "but you should know by now that this is different than either of those.”
A hand traces up Caleb's neck and he tenses however much he can, the cool touch sending shocks to his core; he hadn’t noticed as his scarf was removed from his shoulders, so focused on keeping his voice relaxed. Essek's mantle is still unnervingly just at the edge of Caleb's sight, and he desperately wants to turn to look at Essek, but it isn't part of the script.
Because of course there was a script to this song and dance they created.
