[ dextera’s attention is captured the instant that the door opens, but he holds himself still solely thanks to the fact that kureto is still standing terrifyingly near to him. running into guren’s arms wouldn’t benefit anyone in this situation, as much as dextera wants out of this tense moment.
he wonders if guren remembers him, but with a look like that—he must, right? dextera can’t have come all this way just to be forgotten, and surely guren won’t let them be separated either. ]
…
[ it’s clear that he wants to talk, but then he looks at the people around him, where they are, and he silences himself even if the urge is obvious in the way he holds his body.
he hadn’t intended to cause trouble for guren, but it seems like anything he does will be something to deal with in this world.
something does occur to him, though—perhaps desperation, certainly not the actions of someone who’s thinking completely straight, but there is one quick, easy way of telling if guren remembers anything at all. he’s grateful that he apparently doesn’t pose enough of a threat to be bound, because with one quick sweep of his hands, down his chest like a breath, he goes for a sign that he’s sure guren will recognize. ]
