[It's simple, but it's private, it's quiet, and it gives him the sole comfort of knowing, as he bonelessly drops himself to the floor next to the bed, that he doesn't need to worry about anyone intruding or poking or prodding. Right now, it's just him. Him and his raw mix of anger, fear, and exhaustion, taking shuddering breaths, digging fingers into his hair and letting himself, for just one evening, fall apart in privacy.
[It's after a loooong soak in that tub and a practically sleepless night when Technic finally emerges, cautious as he looks for Waldemar. He's in the bare basics of his uniform - no armor, no leather trimmings - looking less ghostly than he had the previous evening.]
[sitting by the only other exit from his mountain lair, gazing out at the endless expanse of clouds and mist that conceals the earth below from all eyes]
[the red eyes close, then open.....and when they do, a large pot filled with soil appears at technic's feet. a frail-looking seedling is poking up out of the dirt.]
Nurture this plant for a week, until it blooms, and eat the fruit it bears. What you desire will appear in your room upon the completion of your task.
[the fruit in question will taste pleasant and be a mood-lifter]
