Chapter Sixteen: Captivity

Days dragged by.

Eridan felt the tension in the house become more and more uncomfortable with every passing day. Warrehn and Sirri had nasty arguments several times a day, their words getting uglier and harsher the longer they were stuck inside. They seemed to have a history. At first Eridan had wondered if they used to be lovers, but he soon realized that their relationship was closer to that of siblings after some ugly fight. Eridan hadn’t been sure what that was about, but as they let their guard drop around him, they became careless, and he was able to piece things together.

It seemed Warrehn had been living on Tai’Lehr all these years and pretty much had grown up with Sirri’s distant cousin, Rohan. They had known each other for years. Sirri’s problem with him seemed to be Warrehn’s refusal to call himself Tai’Lehrian despite living most of his life there. Sirri called him ungrateful. Warrehn told her to mind her own business. It was all rather interesting—or would have been, if Eridan hadn’t felt a little sick every time he heard of their childhood and teenage years, every time he heard of that Rohan person, who was apparently “like a brother” to Warrehn.

It shouldn’t hurt.

It shouldn’t.

But it did. He didn’t want to listen to this anymore.

He wanted to go home.

He wanted his Master.

Eridan hated himself for these thoughts, hated feeling this way, but he couldn’t help it. No matter how strained their relationship had become lately, he still associated the word “home” with his Master. Even when they were fighting, there was still a certain comfort in being around Castien, the sense of rightness under his skin.

Eridan told himself it was just a habit, but deep down, he knew he was lying to himself. Even thinking about Castien made something inside Eridan tighten with terrible, achy yearning—the pent-up yearning he’d been trying and failing to extinguish for a year. He missed his Master. He had been missing him for a long time now, but the actual, physical distance between them pushed the feeling to the forefront of his mind. It was impossible to ignore anymore.

He missed him.

He didn’t even want anything special. He just wanted to curl up by Castien’s side while his Master worked on his datapad. He wanted to go to sleep lulled by Castien’s telepathic presence wrapped around him and delude himself into thinking that he was loved.

He didn’t want to be stuck in this tiny room, bound to the chair or chained to a couch like some kind of animal. He didn’t want to listen to Warrehn and Sirri arguing with each other or worrying about that Rohan person. He wanted to forget he’d ever met his brother, this stranger who worried about his pseudo-brother instead of looking for his real one.

He wanted to go home.

Eridan had tried to escape a few times, but after the time he’d tried to mind-trick Warrehn into leaving him alone while he took a bath, even Warrehn became pretty strict with him while Sirri became downright paranoid.
