[ Accidental Visual ] We Walk This Lonely Road

[faderbroderson]

Godric is making the bed. A silky sheet carefully tucked, a pillow fluffed, a blanket smoothed. His hands move at a human pace, his touch unhurried and almost reverent. It isn't his bed. The colors and ornaments lending personality to the room are not to his taste.

He moves on to the dresser and proceeds to fold away a small pile of clothes left on the surface. They are too large and too dark to be his clothes. The drawer closes with a thump, too loud in the empty room.

His hands linger, and he stands unnaturally still for a long moment before casting his gaze around the dim room, looking for loose ends. He finds only the recording tablet, and expresses no surprise. He lifts it and brings it with him as he leaves, flicking off the lights and shutting the door quietly.

"Eric Northman has gone home," he addresses Taxon. "Fangtasia has gone with him. If you were employed there, you may contact me for other options."

The broadcast ends.

Sookie. Thank you, but there is nothing to be done. Perhaps later, we might speak? I feel it has been some time since we last had a proper conversation.

Of course, Godric. You know you're welcome in my house, whenever you like.

Thank you, Sookie. That means a great deal to me.

[It really does, especially knowing that Sookie does not offer out invitations to vampires lightly. It isn't a privilege he would ever abuse.]

The invite's open ended, even if you just need a place to stay the night sometime.

[ ...which would be awkward given angel's there more often than not, now, but manners trump sense. ]

I'll remember. And you know you're always welcome in the nest, for any reason. I know you've been reluctant, with Eric, but now...

[What he means is, you never come visit anymore, Sookie. Now you have no more excuse, so come keep your vampire friend company on occasion.]

I can stop by tomorrow, if you like.
