[ It was rare for Essek to show vulnerability to anyone; he was an ice palace-- had always been except when it came to this soul and then he was not unafraid to show it, show that he trusted Bren with this part of himself, as fragile and as crystal as fine glass imported from Emon. A smile of relief crossed over his lips even as he slowly snaked his fingers around the shoulders.. he felt so heavy, like he was being weighed back down.
Once upon a time, he tranced. Soft hums and vibrations as he fell into that which elves did. However, that had been robbed of him and now he sank like a heavy stone into a pool of darkness, where no light could reach, where he was not allowed back up until just before the sun sank down into the horizon. A kiss but this time it was sweetly clumsy, finding a jaw more than anything else. ]
I trust you to do that for me. [ And then he tugged Bren so that he could lay on top of him, a weighted blanket of his own.. warm and smelling of pheremones that he recognized on an instinctual and core level. ] I.. love you...
[ His eyes then fell shut, his head fell back and then he so very still, whatever breath that he'd been given ceased to be though-- because of Bren's blood, his own skin stayed far warmer than it would've throughout the night, likely kept warm at least surfacely by his mate. ]
