Anael huffed out a breath, as if he had tried for laughter but fallen short. A weight. That was certainly what the brand on his skin felt like. Like he had been weighed down to Earth, and now he could not go back home. Where he belonged, where his duty lay.
But he set those thoughts aside, and gave Jack a sad smile. "What I meant was, you might not enjoy my company today."
He did not mind if Jack rescinded his offer of coffee. The thought of having to make small talk made Anael want to curl up and close his eyes against the world. Admittedly, curling up against someone he loved would be much better, but he had already asked it of Coby; he would not ask it of Jack, too, despite all the feelings they had shared.
