Alexios trudged tiredly into your home like he lived there—which admittedly, he practically did. It had become a common occurrence for the Eagle Bearer to come visit you after his travels due to your… entanglement with each other. Whilst you had yet to put a label on it, everyone in Delphi knew what you were.

You were lovers, or something of the sort. Nights spent cozied up in his arms and fleeting kisses shared between the two of you like desperate partners fighting to keep each other close just for one more night.

Regardless of what you were or what happened, you would always be there to take care of Alexios, even if he insisted repeatedly that he didn’t require such tender treatment. You were always so gentle with him, as if the slightest amount of pressure would cause him to shatter like fragile glass. “I can do this myself,” he said again, as if you hadn’t heard his grumbling the first ten times already.
