“Yea, but I didn’t. And neither did you, which is what counts.“ (Yes, of course! You’re playing Lavi?)
When Allen inquired, Lavi gave him his answer. He reached around to Allen’s back and with his finger, traced nameless shapes on his back with a featherlight touch.
“When Gramps first took me as his apprentice, I had a hard time sleepin’. I mean, that kinda goes without sayin’. One day I’m just hungry and a few days later, seein’ people kill each other is gettin’ pretty normal,” Lavi said, confiding in Allen a story he didn’t think anyone but he and the old man knew. “Tha’s what he did to get me to sleep. I always thought it was relaxin’.”
Allen jumped when Lavi touched his back, but relaxed after a moment.
“Yea… it is relaxing.” he said, not sure how to react do the rest of what Lavi had said. He continued eating the pudding and soon finished it.
“Can I sleep now?” he asked, holding the bowl towards Lavi.
