「The more they had been working on the charms, the more Atem had been noticing Carlisle growing weary, the glow in his eyes increasing, it cannot be normal — but he didn't ask.
All sudden, his own exhaustion seems forgotten and Atem springs from his seat and closes the distance between him and the taller man.」
Carlisle!
「He tries to support him in some way, afraid that he might collapse right there — the black substance coming out of him makes the Pharaoh stare in horror, it is no wonder where that came from now, he never found the moment to ask about it, too busy and wrapped up in his (their) personal project to distract himself with that. Carlisle never showed an opening either, constantly correcting his mistakes during his teachings, always giving him something to work on, questioning him, and just never talking about themselves.
He should have asked!
Atem also doesn't have to think too much about what is wrong with him, he knows... He can imagine at any rate, and the guilt starts weighting down on him, he asked too much out of the priest. He idly rubs Carlisle's back, in a soothing manner — as much as his short stature allows him anyway — waiting for the event to end.
