Blinking her eyes open it took a moment for the room to stop spinning, but once her vision cleared her eyes were once again caught on Davome.

She sat in silence for sometime. Mystery having gone to help Akartis ((saw it on the Desert Forum heh)) meant she was left alone. She crawled forward to where his dead body lay, laying down beside him, touching a crumpled wing, blackened and torn. She felt the urge to cry again, but wouldn't allow it. Moving closer she ignored the cold clammy feel of him, the stiffness of the corpse, and rested her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes to the world.

Her mind swarmed with memories. Walking along the trail in the dead of winter, meeting Davome for the first time, and him coaxing her to go back to the Inn to warm up rather than keep walking. Collapsing in the street and being carried back and cared for by him, making him come sit with her in the bed...falling asleep curled so close, feeling safe. Telling him she loved him. She opened her eyes to stare at him, brows furrowed, reaching her hand up to touch his face gently. She wished she could take everything that had happened and erase the bad things. She wished she could have her life back.
