In Return

Deathbelle felt a chill rush through her as she found her way to a blessedly dreamless sleep. Her conscious didn’t wander far though, and the quiet sound of skin against stone disturbed the mourning widow. As Obi settled himself the Klein woman blinked open her eyes to find the primate had returned to Ashen. She hid her surprise, when he disappeared that day she hadn’t been sure if she would ever see him again. Of course she was too consumed in Archon’s loss to spare much thought. There was a bit of weight taken from her shoulders.

”Obi.” She stated softly before her tears began to fill with tears. Hesitantly she moved forward to embrace the primate. She knew he hurt as much as she did, and was the only other one who knew exactly what she was forced through that day because he lived it too. ”You’ve come back.” There was a little surprise in her voice as her tears fell from her cheeks and she sat back to look at him properly.

He seemed shrunken, like he was no longer the same as he was before the eruption. Neither of them were. The hole Archon left was filled slightly by his companion’s presence. Maybe they would make it through together.
