They fleshed out a few more details, before Sergei eventually sighed and got to his feet. He pulled on his clothes and Kellen realised that he'd been naked from the top up this whole time. Sergei's lieutenant stood with him, coming to stand next to him.
Sergei looked tired, really tired, and Kellen felt bad for him for a moment.
"Are you going now?" Kellen asked and Sergei nodded carefully.
"Yeah. I should get back now. Thank you for your help, Charlie. It was greatly appreciated." Charlie lit up at the thank you, his expression open and vulnerable.
"Y-You're welcome! If you need more help, just let Kellen know! I'm not really guiding anyone else at the moment because I am learning about who I am." Charlie told him honestly. Kellen didn't step in and stop him since Sergei wasn't a bad person, but he was going to have to have a conversation about who he should tell and who he shouldn't.
Sergei's gaze slid to Kellen, then to Rhys, before a soft smile touched his lips.
