Their gazes met and he spoke in a gruff and tired voice. He mentioned leaving the next morning, that he wanted to spend as much time with her as he could, even if just for the night, he wanted to see her face before he fell asleep, kiss it as she wakes, before she leaves. He curled closer and in response so did she, her eyes closing with a sigh as she breathed in his essence. Just promise me that when yo do go, that you will be safe. Come back to me, my heart's fulfiller. She couldn't help but giggle, her eyes opening and she smiled with the warmth of her heart. I promise, with my heart and soul love, I will be safe, I will come back and I will return with a healer... She smiled, placed a nose gently to his cheek and whispered, My hearth-fire, my war-song, my peace.
