"What's wrong?" Derlik asked, seeing how Smoke looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Derlik asked, seeing how Smoke looked at him.
"I don't understand what's going on." Smoke replied, blinking innocently.

Derlik gave a small laugh.
"That's alright. Sometimes I don't either," Derlik admitted quietly.
Smoke frowned. "But you're a god."

"Just because I'm a God doesn't mean I'm perfect," Derlik explained.
"I didn't say it did, but…" Smoke shook his head a little bit, not understanding.
group
"I can't know everything, Smoke," Derlik explained. "No one does."
Smoke hummed faintly.

Derlik started to pet Smoke again, smiling softly as Nik slept.
Smoke leaned into the touch, purring happily.

Derlik pulled Smoke onto his lap, rubbing his back.
Smoke squirmed a little bit, pressing close to Derlik and purring happily.
group
Derlik smiled gently, scratching Smoke's head and back.
Smoke leaned into the touches, purring.

Derlik rubbed Smoke's back now with his thumbs, doing this as he thought of what to do with Nik now.
Smoke purred loudly, leaning into the touch.

Finally, Derlik released his hold over Nik's mind. If he woke up, so be it. He knew what he would do. He continued to basically massage Smoke, smiling softly.
Smoke kept purring and leaning into Derlik's hands.

Derlik grinned, holding Smoke close as he rubbed the kitten.
Smoke kept purring and pressing into Derlik's hands. Nik stirred a little bit, starting to wake up.
group
Derlik glanced up when Nik started waking up. Good. He laid Smoke down across his lap, scratching beneath his chin and neck.
Nik sighed faintly, opening his eyes and blinking at Derlik and Smoke.

"You finally awake?" Derlik said, not looking up. "I'm surprised by how tired you were, seeing how it's still morning." His hint that Nik hadn't fallen asleep on his own.
Nik frowned a little bit. "I…" He shook his head a little. "I wasn't." He said slowly.
group
"Well, you've been asleep for almost a half hour now." Derlik glanced up Nik, a mischievous look on his face.
"I wonder why you fell asleep if you weren't tired?"
Nik frowned. "Did you do something?" He demanded, eyes narrowing.
group
"Why would you say that?" Still, Derlik's face have him away. Why yes, yes he had.
Nik shook his head a little bit, but didn't speak.
group
Derlik gave a small smirk.
"Come join us! We're having some fun." He scratched Smoke's head lightly.
Nik frowned a little bit. "I…" his eyes flicked to Smoke, and he bit his lip.
