[Dohalim doesn't even ask why anymore, knowing that he'll get the same answer as before. he drops his hands into his lap as he leans into the embrace, utterly exhausted at being woken up in the middle of the night, and of everything else. he's so tired of all of this, and all he wants is rest from the corruption, to not have his mind constantly on it and what it could do.
sensing the inner turmoil Dohalim is facing, and the need to recess back into his mind to numb it, Rukkhadevata pulls away just enough to tilt his chin up to look at her. "Don't give up. You have those who care so deeply for you. I understand it's a lot to ask of you, but do not give up. Let us be your strength when you feel weak. Let us be the light that guides you in the dark."
Dohalim looks up at the goddess, before letting his eyes slip closed]
I'm tired. I've said this to Zhongli before, but I'm so tired...
["I know, my child. And I know this is an unfair set of circumstances for you. Just hold on for a little while longer." leaning in, she presses a soft kiss in Dohalim's hair. "For now, just rest here. I can provide a dreamless sleep for you, so take rest."]
