Ashley was glad to feel Alexander hugging him closely, and returned the warm embrace, although Alexander still puzzled him. Thankful for the contact, Ashley broke the hug and took Alexander's hand, allowing himself to be led to the kitchen by his lover.
Arriving at the kitchen, Ashley squinted his eyes at the bright light seeping through the glass pane ceiling - his eyes not entirely hardy enough to withstand the light that Alexander could. Eventually, he opted simply to cover his eyes with the long sleeve of his robe.
"Can you tell me where the chair is? The light is giving me a headache..." Ashley said, defeated.
