Just Corbie and Mildmay, alone in his room, and good thing his bed was right beside 'em, 'cause his legs went and gave out, the both of 'em, and he only just managed to land in a exhausted slump on the edge of it, 'steada the floor.

"Fuck me," barely more than a whisper, and Mildmay ran shaky hands over his face. He couldn't look at Corbie. Not after... that.
