my lifetime lover ghost

Since Riva had left, Eris hadn't returned to her family. She had spent sunny afternoons basking with Oxide and tending to his wounds, as stern and insistent as any nurse, then long, luxurious evenings high as a kite snuggled close to his side. They had spent so much time together that she was having difficulty telling their scents apart. Normally this would make her anxious, especially since she couldn't see him, but it just felt like another thing had somehow fit into place. Of course they smelled nearly the same, they were practically soulbound.

But she was young yet, and almost charmingly naive. Eris couldn't picture this ever ending (or changing). After his wounds had closed and could withstand some light physical activity, they had left the gully. She had figured if it was ever going to fall apart, it would be when they left that magical place where they'd made a temporary home - but it had held. Maybe just by spider webs and spit, but it held.

Today was the real test. Now that his wounds were knitting themselves, Eris figured he could use a good soak. A swim would relieve stress on other parts of his body while still putting him to the test, and salt water would sting terribly but clean out any last traces of infection. The island was visible from the nearby delta, or so Oxide had said, so it wasn't too terribly far for her to make it without getting swept away; it was a good deal inland, the current was weak, and they had gone at low tide. Eris pulled herself up on to the sands, shaking out her fur. All she could smell was salt! The small girl coughed a bit, having accidentally ingested a bit too much of the water on her journey over. She headed over to the shade of a nearby boulder to curl up while she waited for him to surface, marveling at how soft the sand felt beneath her paws.
