He was an emotional mess, but that didn't mean he would stray far from her side. He refused to be out of hearing range, or even sight range from the autumnal colored dame, most days. Plain and simple, Valerius didn't want to be away from Emer. He had grown to crave her presence. The warm spring breeze that ruffled his chocolate hued coat felt like heaven. He would speak into the dusk, his tone questioning for her- calling for her. She probably wasn't far from him, he kept close enough that he could hear if she called him, but he also wanted to give her some space.
"Emer?" He questioned into the darkening sky. His cerulean eyes twinkling, as the orange horizon reflected against them. A soft subtle sigh left him, as he waited for her to reply to him, his large body resting against the ground in a lying position. The ground was cool against his belly, and the warm air warmed his back. It was almost perfect.
For the first time in a long time Emer had left the former Valhalla lands. It wasn't quite as bad as she had feared, built it up in her mind but perhaps that was simply because she had Valerius looking after she and Taddeo again. They still lacked any real plan at the moment, but it was alright. Though the journey through the desert itself hadn't been the greatest, initially making her miss her former home in Valhalla they'd now come across a rather pleasant little oasis in the middle of it all. Never had she seen it before but she was glad they had discovered it.
Space wasn't something she overly felt she needed right now. Still she was overjoyed by Valerius' return and was glad that he was never far. Taddeo meanwhile had travelled a little too far for her liking, he came back each time but like now for instance she wasn't entirely certain where the boy was. The thoughts would be pushed away for a moment however as she heard Valerius calling for her. She would rise from her own resting spot and move across the oasis to join him. "I'm here" She would give her own verbal response as she reached his side, settling herself down upon the ground next to him. "Is everything ok?" Of course she was typically the one with problems, but she would wonder why he had specifically sought her out now, not that she minded too much at all.
