Work Text:
As Lucas looks at Ash, the one who defends everything and anything as if it’s his own he feels a sense of dread. Just watching him work would make even the hardest worker exhausted.
“Your majesty” Lucas said firmly “Aren’t you going to take a break, please do so now”.
Ash simply looks at Lucas as if he isn’t comprehending what’s being said “what are you talking about?”. Ash was sitting at his desk with a pen and paper in hand simply pondering on what to do.
“I believe that the work you’re putting in is detrimental to your health. Please reconsider what you’re doing currently” Lucas says softly as not wanting to offend Ash.
“Nobody has time for breaks Lucas, you and everyone knows that. If I’m just going around and doing nothing will anything get done?” He rolls his eyes looking back at his paper.
“Your majesty I’m afraid I can’t allow your health to deteriorate any further. Please take a look at yourself”. He walks up towards him and carefully grabs the pen and paper and sets it down.
“I’m scared to see what will become of you. I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels that way”. Lucas looks around and hands Ash a mirror to where the man can see how exhausted he truly looks like and is almost take aback.
“Maybe I do need a break” He pauses “But what if we’re screwed because I take one, anything can happen Lucas and then it’d all be my fault”.
Lucas frowns slightly, Ash’s anxiety made him the best commander but pretty much made his life miserable in everything else. “Your majesty, it is not and never will be your fault”.
Lucas smiles softly “Even if it is I’ll always stand with you”.
