[Bren was thoroughly pampered by the drowpire, and bit by bit he seemed to settle back into himself. Essek was truly spoiling him, and he felt a bit overwhelmed by it, but he also wanted nothing more than to stay close to him.
By the time the sun rose and he lost Essek to the light, he was ready to drift off to sleep himself. His arms were settled securely around the other man, and he fell asleep that way, curled around him, exhausted from the night before, even if his blood was aboil with the impending moon that would rise the next night.
When day faded and darkness settled in once more, when Essek began to return to himself, Bren would already be awake, still curled around him but tense. More tense than he'd been since that night that Essek found him in the woods and brought him back home.]
