Tyki grunted as he sat down and leaned back, closing his eyes. His arms remained tightly around his lover. "I asked Saguru to keep an eye on you should the worst happen," he admitted, a little nervously. He knew that this wouldn't go over well with Zechs. "I knew that he was a friend to you as well, and I was concerned that you would withdraw from all of your supports."

His arms tightened slightly, and then his eyes opened. "Two...weeks?" he asked in confusion. "It's been closer to two months! And what message I--" Horror transformed his face for a moment. "I didn't mean to post that," he said. "Because I wasn't finished. Damnit! I had meant only to reassure you that I was all right. The Duke hadn't let me out of my bed, but...not because he was holding me captive. Yet I was still desperate to get word out to you, for I was certain you'd be worried."
