When She Loved Me

In seconds Rhyme was gone and the pair were alone. Valentine was still angry - little would quell it besides what he craved most - but for Rhythm's sake he would behave. Time had not been kind to her and he was afraid of what another outburst would do to her. Age hadn't tamed him, though, and it took everything he had to remain still. Had she been anyone else he may not have been able to, but because it was Rhythm, because so much time had passed since he last held her, Valentine was quiet. He sighed, the gesture more to get himself to relax than a show of vexation. "Yes. She was well the last time I saw her." His thoughts went to his youngest daughter and the memories they shared in Auster. She'd reminded him of himself. He remembered that clear as day. Valentine chuckled, then said, "And as wild and stubborn as she was as a child." |
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
