she said and turned around heading towards the small study table but she couldn't make more then one step for she was stopped by Avners hand holding onto her hand
This action made the unbothered Nephthys give a reaction, a very small one but not small enough for Avner not to catch. Her eyebrows knitted together very softly and were pulled back to their place very fast it was almost impossible to see it happen but when it comes to her there is no small action of hers he can not see
Being able to get a reaction from her made him very happy, he now knew that she was conscious of him, maybe not in the same way he was towards her but she was still conscious of him
Nephthys pulled her hand out of his hand then asked
" What is wrong ? "
Avner decided to take full advantage of the situation
" Cool me down, please I don't think I can make it to my room on my own "
Avner was anticipating her replay but was soon disappointed
" You can make it. The fire had only just happened so you still got some time till your condition will worsen "
even after her stone like replay, Avner decided to not give up just yet
" But you saw it yourself my fever is increasing very fast what if I faint on the way "
After completing his sentence Avner took her hand then put it on his forehead to make her remember he has a fever, he kept her hand there for a few more seconds and after making sure she wasn't going to take her hand off on her own he gently took her hand off his forehead then put his hand into her own hand and hold onto it tightly
" Alright let's go "
Avner didn't give her time to think so he escorted her to his room, his hand never letting go
" Alright we are here, you didn't faint, you are alright. Now go to sleep "
After making it to his room Nephthys let go of his hand
Avner still wanted to hold her hand so he did his best to convince her
" Hold my hand "
" No "
Was her short replay
" But what if I die in my sleep ? "
he was still not going to give up
" The chances for you to die are very low "
" But not zero "
" Go to sleep "
with that Nepthys turned around but Avner hold onto her hand once again
Avner was fully aware that if she really wanted to she would break his arm but surprisingly she didn't pull back no matter how many times he held onto her….it made him happy
" I´m scared "
" Grow up "
" Adults can be afraid as well you know "
at this point what Avner was doing started working because Nephthys was about to give up, it was most likely because she was feeling like this conversation was going nowhere and that she was talking with a child so with a sigh she agreed
" Fine, go lay down "
Avner was smiling from ear to ear. He held her hand tightly then walked to his bed, he then stopped and looked at her a little longer his smile never fading
" Stop smiling like a clown. Lay down "
" Yes ma'am "
and he laid down
Nephthys also sat down on the chair that was next to the bed
" Why are you smiling like that ? "
Nephthys couldn't understand his reaction. Was he really that scared of dying ? But why ? Why are people so attached to life ? Is life really that great ?
" It's a secret "
the reason as to why Avner couldn't stop smiling was because even though she could cool him down just with her energy touching him like she had done before….she was still holding his hand in order to do that
" You really are a clown "
Nephthys said it with the most serious face making Avners smile fade
" How cruel "
" Sleep, I also have to sleep "
Nephthys was going to help him only until he fell asleep but if he kept talking then she was going to stay all night
hearing her sentence Avner smiled again but this time it was a more malicious smile
" My bed is big enough, you can always sleep here "
he said taping on his matrace
Nephthys got closer to his face before saying
" If you don't go to sleep I´m going to turn you into a cube of ice "
as she threatened to do that, Avner could feel an insanely cold energy coming through his hand, the same hand that Nephthys was holding
