[Their foreheads bonk and then Sesa gets Oripathy and explodes-
No, Sesa will fight death itself if it means staying with Elliot for longer. The Liberi has been cheated out of a full life, but that doesn't mean his remaining days have to be unpleasant ones. And Sesa, who has been tied up in knots about their standing with one another ever since they started this whole thing, has started to grow more and more sure over time of how he feels. Maybe it's unhealthy. Perhaps they are a toxic presence in one anothers' lives.
But if they are both happy...does that matter? In a world already so full of misery in strife, and in a world that Sesa knows won't see Elliot in it for much longer?
Their foreheads rest together as Sesa shifts to turn to face Elliot just a little more, bringing his free hand up to cradle the side of his face. His thumb brushes over his cheekbone, down the curve of his jawline. Just hearing Elliot say the words is enough to make Sesa's eyes brim over with tears, and before he knows it, they're falling when he blinks. They cling to his lashes, giving him away, but for now he ignores them.]
A sickness, perhaps.
[He chuckles, his tail loosely wrapping around Elliot's side.]
A plague that has chosen to afflict us both, I fear.
[Said as he leans in, and presses a fleeting kiss to Elliot's lips.]
