Short summary: Camus brings refreshments to share with Miklotov.
“Miklotov.”
The black-haired man sitting on the floor didn’t look up from the sword he was polishing, as if Camus hadn’t said anything at all. Camus sighed, though he was not surprised. That’s why he was carrying a tray of tea and biscuits from the restaurant.
Carefully Camus knelt on the floor next to Miklotov and placed the tray down in front of him. Then with one hand he gently touched Miklotov’s shoulder. This finally got Miklotov’s attention.
“Camus?” Miklotov looked up at the red-haired man and frowned.
Camus forced a cheerful smile. “I brought a snack for us to share, since I figured you might be hungry.”
Miklotov glanced over at the tray next to Camus before looking Camus once again in the eye. The bags under his eyes were only getting deeper. Not that Camus had fared much better after the events in Mathilda and with Nanami… Camus understood how Miklotov felt, because he felt the same storm of feelings. Even though they had become ex-Knights a while ago, they had spent over a decade under that man… that despicable man…
“Thank you.” Miklotov broke one of the biscuits into two pieces and handed one half to Camus. They ate the biscuit pieces in silence.
Camus was about to reach for one of the teacups when Miklotov stopped him, his fingers first grabbing onto Camus’ forearm before sliding down to tangle with Camus’ fingers. He squeezed Camus’ hand and tried his best to smile. “I’m sorry for my behavior.”
Camus shook his head. “No need to apologize.”
“But…” Miklotov protested.
“Just share this with me,” Camus requested, shifting closer to Miklotov. Miklotov pushed the tray with the untouched tea and remaining biscuits to the side carefully with his foot before turning to embrace Camus.
“I will. I promise.”
