“I’m not really furious at you,” I mumbled. “You are my friend, Seis. If I lost you as well…” His face softened. Gently, he pulled me back into another hug. I shuddered as my cheek pressed to his warm chest. I had barely touched another person in so long. I hadn’t let myself, especially after my final goodbye with my brother. “You haven’t lost me,” Seis rumbled, pulling back to smile at me. “And you haven’t lost Jugs. The cure works, Lor. He’s going to wake up.”
