Summary
It’s become a nightly routine of theirs that’s shaped itself over the years spent in Nod-Krai. Every time Lohen returns to Favonius Keep from a fight, Varka is waiting for him in his tent, with a first-aid kit ready to be used.
What comes next plays out exactly as it always does. Varka removes his gauntlet, then pulls on the glove on his other hand, leaving his hands bare. Lohen observes Varka, how deliberate he is in each and every movement, his eyes trailing along the lines and curves of Varka’s hands as he washes them, drying them with a clean cloth, before opening the first-aid kit.
Lohen has long stopped commenting on how unnecessary Varka’s attention is, in these moments. He’s made his promise: to always come back in one piece to him. However, it’s instinctual for Lohen to open his mouth, a request for Varka to speed it up, but no words come out — it feels wrong to break this encompassing calm surrounding them.
