There will never be less work to do. Especially when you don't let other people do it. Honestly Glen, it's like you're a masochist. Or you especially enjoy punishing yourself.
[Felid leans back on the bed, watching Glen between his spacing out and his sipping his coffee. He's a different person in a way, his expressions softer and more genuine and his emotions right on the surface, eager to see the world and to be accepted in it, there aren't walls or guards on his heart around Glen, which is probably the more cutting. But he's still got sharp eyes and sometimes he looks at Glen almost like he used to, calculating. But not with malice, now. Just thoughtfulness. He hasn't learned malice yet, himself, not with Glen so careful to keep it from him.]
[Instead he knows a world where he's regarded with suspicion but kept, mostly, isolated from the general public. Kept at Glen's side, but not content there. Much as he adores Glen.]
Take a day off. You've worked hard, let someone else handle today's affairs. There's nothing that really needs you right now, let's go do something interesting for once.
[Boredom. The world is new and wondrous to him in a way, and he's bored. He wants to explore. He wants to meet people. He is not a man designed to while the hours quietly. And he's smart, observant, he sees how much Glen takes on without sharing it. How his shoulders sag and his world seems a heavy one. But why should it be? There's no more conflict, Glen has power no one can challenge, Felid just can't understand not enjoying himself more.]
