    Summary

    “I’m here for you, Qifrey.” Olruggio murmured, afraid to shatter the peace of the moment if he spoke any louder. “We’re partners, I’ll help you with anything, if you let me. Anything.”
    “Partners,” Qifrey echoed, already half-asleep. “We’re partners.”
    He said something else, but the sound was swallowed by the room before Olruggio could make out the words.

     

    Or,

    Olruggio wants to help, and just hopes that he's allowed to. (A study in how assistance can feel like a burden, when you need a little too much of it.)
