"I'm sorry that I caused you any distress," he says with quiet sincerity. "And I am rather grateful this did not require travel across planes."
Yussa lifts his head so that he can kiss Caleb's shoulder.
"It was tedious to feel... like a passenger in my own body, in a way. Disconnected and yet utterly present." He couldn't stop the way he felt, couldn't do anything but ride it out like a ship in a storm. And it absolutely left him feeling wrecked by the time it finally blew itself out.
"I still feel tired despite most of a night's rest. I haven't slept like that in ages." That's not entirely accurate. He'd slept hard after returning to his body from Cognouza, enough that Wensforth had been worried at the latter end of it.
Yussa meets Caleb's gaze and reaches to stroke his cheek.
"You have abused nothing. I am grateful for your help and your companionship through this." A wry smile appears and Yussa tries to hide it behind another sip of tea. "I can think of no one else I would rather weather that with."
