( Once Kazuya leaves, Basil takes that time for himself. He's a mess, to say the least. But, it's not all that rare for him to make a flimsy excuse to be alone to finally break down and get any feelings that he needs to get out. Kazuya is right that he's fragile, but not in the way that he thinks of him as.
It takes him a while to adjust to the situation, but he has no choice but to come around to it. What else can he do? Eventually, instincts start to take over, and it isn't just the safety of home that keeps him there, but the eventual instinct to nest comes into play. It's a weird feeling, and there's nothing particularly natural about it to him, yet at the same time... it feels completely natural all the same.
At the least, the constant fear to watch his back is gone. Just as Kazuya promised, the demons from before had left him alone, seemingly uninterested in having anything to do with him at this point in time.
By the time Kazuya may end up visiting again, the eggs inside of Basil have begun to grow, and his clothing suddenly feels far too small on him. More than that, there's a strange sentimentality he has for the beings growing inside of him. It almost feels like-- they're a part of him, despite everything. Yet, he's still scared all the same. Despite the promise that was made to him, how could there not be some sort of fear in what was going to happen?
At this moment, Basil is tending to the plants that he's taken care of for some time. He might be a little slower now and he gets tired for more faster, but... he can't neglect them. It'd be sad if anything happened to them... )
