its a bitter world and id rather dream

Roan never had any real opinion on the afterlife, he didn’t know if Dapple’s conscious still existed somewhere or not. Hopefully if she did, his only family would see what he was about to do and smile down on him. Io believed his gift to her appropriate, and his lips turned up slightly in a grin. He accepted that he couldn’t change that past, he could only prepare for the future. One that contained him and the end of the wolf eater.

He didn’t say anything more as Iolaire started to doze softly on his chest. Roan would try not to disturb her, even though he couldn’t sleep he wouldn’t stop her. When Resin and Sirius were ready they would seek him out. Until then the silver marked titan would meditate and focus himself on his future wife. He was determined to return to her, and return to this peace she brought him.
