as lovers go

Her? Beautiful? Eris laughed sleepily, nuzzling deeper into Oxide's embrace. "Is it morning? I can't tell," she murmured sleepily. What light that did filter through the rushing waters was dim enough that it could have been moonlight. The world of the cave was still drenched in shadow. Eris couldn't make out a thing except the bulk of Oxide in front of her. She'd had a wonderful dream - the Ademre were thriving in this land they'd discovered across the channel and there were little puppies bopping about (who had ripened?) and Lament had seemed absolutely alive. Ballad had become one with herself once more and all of their shattered memories were repaired.

If only she could lift the dream from her head and into reality. "Lament worked so hard to bring us all together," she whispered into the darkness. "I'm worried about the rest of the Ademre and if they crossed the channel safely." Although it would be torture to leave this cave, Eris knew that he was her soul's twin flame. They would never truly be parted.
