As she walked all that I can say was...;LILY and family - Chaol - 12-11-2018 He had left them before he had made it to the Pampas. Chaol had immediately felt uncomfortable being so close to Leliana’s kin without knowing whether or not he would get sick and pass it on to them. So while he had wanted to follow to learn more about this stallion that had broken his poor Lily’s heart, well, he couldn’t do that to the little snake girl. But he had promised to return, promised to find them again some day. But time had passed and he had stayed away, giving himself more time away from others in case he was sick and time away from others to keep from getting sick. It has been long enough he thinks, the day the sun shines bright, beaming down onto his purple and magenta coat with warmth. It seemed like it had been only winter just a few turns of the sun ago, when he had found Lily sick in the cold water the the river. And then spring which had went by so quickly he barely remembered it. Warmer days and nights, green tender sprouts of grass. The quiet unfurling of leaves. All things he had taken in and enjoyed in his solitude. He was done with solitude. He was ready for some company. He takes to the sky, flying fast and low over the terrain below him. Swooping over the rest of the forest and then the beautiful expanse of blue water until he found the edges of the Pampas. His hooves sinking into the sand when he lands. The breeze over the water and along the edge of it felt wonderful against his warm skin from his exertion. He takes a long slow look from his vantage point and then starts to move towards the river he had seen from above. He had no doubt that he would run into Adna or Lily or even Vulgaris at some point as he wandered around aimlessly. Fate had a certain way of doing that.

He is not surprised by her quick finding of him, nor of her speedy urge to be at his side. He’s rather pleased, since he has missed her just as much. “Nice wing color choice.” He says with a laugh, his lips brushing against whatever skin of hers he can touch. “And I have missed you. I am sorry I was gone for so long. You were sick and once I found Adna, your man came and collected us both. But I did not feel comfortable traveling with her in case I was sick too.” But this place was safe, or so he had heard so even if he was sick or carrying it, then everyone around him would be okay here. So. She steps back away from him, and he can see she is healthy. He can see the shine of her coat and the gleam of happiness in her eyes and it eases his heart. “I am glad you figured things out with Vulgaris.” He says after a moment, his lips reaching out to touch her cheek. “Happiness is a good look for you.” What had he been doing. That was amusing. A tilt of his lips in smile. “Not much. I have been hiding out, staying away from others and keeping myself away from others. Too much of this sickness going around. I didn’t want to add to it or get it.” A small roll of his shoulders before her lips touch his cheek and she pushes his healing into his body. Aches and pains he didn’t know he had were healed and he instantly felt better than he had in a long time. He moves around her, taking her in noticing the difference. “But you my pretty Lily, have been up to much. You should tell me your tales. They are much better than mine surely.” He smiles as he slides back up around her to her front, sliding a wing across her back companionably. @[Leliana] RE: As she walked all that I can say was...;LILY and family - leliana - 12-24-2018 Leliana baby, when I'm in your arms, I can make honest sense of love and war's alarms but there's something primal underneath and it drives this nothingness I seek @[Chaol] RE: As she walked all that I can say was...;LILY and family - Chaol - 12-26-2018 Thoughtful. Well, he hadn’t ever been called that before. There’s a first time for everything. He smiles a small smile at her words, at the way she leans into his touch. The way her teeth tug lightly on his forelock. He laughs a little, not bothering to fix it after it falls across his face when she releases it. Perhaps he tosses his head just slightly to keep it from falling across his eyes so he can still see her, but other than that he leaves it where she had tugged it. “Ah yes, the little snake-girl. I am glad she made it back home. And Sabbath?” His mind traveling back along the train of past memories. Yes she had been pregnant, hadn’t she that last time he had saw her. Well, he supposes that she had been all of the times that he had met her. But he had been more worried about how she was and the favor that she had asked him to carry out. “I am glad she is well as well.” She speaks and he listens, his heart glad with what happiness she has found. Glad that she has a purpose that makes her happy and that she was doing what she needed to be doing. He laughs a bit when she was done. “Not that you ever need a reminder when you answer the fae’s call.” His own time among the quests causing a bit of darkness to creep into those happy eyes. It isn’t something that he dwells on, after all he had gotten out with few scars and the ability to change his size at will. So while he is not sure if he would ever do it again, he did not begrudge others at the chance to do such quests. “You, my Lily, are an absolute warrior queen.” He says after a minute. Finding himself in awe of her and all she had gone through. How she can smile afterwards. “Seriously, I am in awe of you.” His lips finding the curve of her neck to press a soft kiss there. His wing curling itself back across her back and enjoying the feeling of her warmth against his side. “How are you though, after all that? Are you okay?” He remembered how after his quest he had not been up to par. But not only that, she had been through some shit and he was willing to listen to anything she needed to get off her chest.

A flashback to when his grandfather would say something pretty to the mares to have them look at him in the same way, only to strike them down afterwards. Telling them they were never good enough, or what they needed to do. They were only flashes in his memories, because thankfully he had been so young when he had left. He did miss his mother sometimes though, wondered what had happened to her. He had hoped sometimes that she would be as strong as Leliana here afterwards, but he wasn’t so sure. He softly laughs at her next set of words, a small chuckle while his lips find a spot on her neck and his teeth lightly nibble there before he speaks. “Don’t you get it Lily? From what I see you are the most important part of it all.” He pauses, waits until her eyes meet his own. “You are the glue, the bond, the fucking strength that gives them the will to stand strong, to fight, to fucking bleed to protect. You give all of yourself and you don’t even ask for them to love you back in return.” His wing tightens protectively around her. “Take me for instance. Who knows what I would be doing now if I hadn’t seen a gorgeous girl out crying amongst the meadow. If I hadn’t stopped to make sure she was okay and then feel my heart lurch for her sorrow and her grief.” He sighs. “You didn’t ask for me to stay, to come back, to be a part of your life, but damn if I didn’t want it, didn’t want to. It would be easy to fall in love with you, so easy, but I won’t do that to your family. So this, this friendship is what we have yeah?” A twinkle in his eyes, a smile on his lips. “But don’t you think I wouldn’t absolutely stand next to anyone else in your family and protect you and the girls. Because I would, I would bleed and break anyone that tried to hurt you.” His nose turns back towards her and he inhales her scent, closes his eyes a long moment. “Don’t you let anyone make you feel inferior Lily. Know in your heart that you are the strength of your entire family.” His eyes find hers again and he is quiet for a moment afterwards, letting his words sink in, the absolute truth of them in his eyes. And he wishes that he could warm her faster, with more than just the tightness of his wing across her back and his body along side hers. He wishes he had the magic to do so...for her. @[leliana] |
