the secret of our world is written in the stars

He doesn’t want to leave her, but they can no longer stay in the cold as the snow continues to fall around them. His gestures do not match what he says, and he wonders if she can tell why they do not correlate. He almost wants to go with her, almost asks if he could, but there is no way he could travel the way she could, nor could they arrive to Ischia as quickly as she needed to with him slowing her down. He sighs; if only he had wings, then perhaps their goodbye would not have to begin so quickly…

Destiny… she murmurs and he hums in agreement, nodding his head as she leans into him, pressing gentle and innocent kisses to the skin she offers to him. She pulls from him, and both of them stand in the frigid cold, neither one leaving nor coming together once again. He almost does, he almost gives in to the tug that she has on his heart and soul already, but instead he inhales deeply, a rumbling sigh leaving his lips in a cloud of vapor. She asks him to leave first, and a tender smile adorns his pale lips. 

“I will see you again,” he promises, stepping forward to press the velvet of his muzzle against her cheek, before moving away from the river and trudging through ice and snow back towards Hyaline.

Though he doubts the freezing cold will be able to permeate the warmth that she has left in his chest.
