FAR BEYOND THE MOONLIGHT

She was not left in wait for long, a blue-grey fur quickly coming into sight of her crimson gaze. Argent could not help the sad smile that crept onto her face, the bundle of joy and happiness that sat in her chest when she looked upon Taurig?s now-maimed features. He spoke her name, and her ears clung to the sound. The silver knight was devoted to her master, to her King, to her love, but her heart could not deny the twinge it felt when the new leader of Tortuga spoke to her. ?Taurig,? she said his name softly, as if explaining her presence here. That was unnecessary; he had heard Isardis?s words just as well as she had. Being here was an act of treason her part, and she?d done it for him.
She made certain to keep her distance, looking upon him, trying to see if he?d been looked after properly. ?Is there anyone to tend to you??she asked gently, hoping he was alright. The awkwardness of her speech was apparent, and yet what else was she to do? Argent was a woman bound by emotion and duty; she could not reach out to Taurig as she yearned to, and yet she could not help the confession that slipped from her lips. ?I miss you,? she verbalized, wondering if Taurig could feel the vibrations that the phrase sent through her.
She stayed still in posture, but open, friendly, no signs of aggression apparent. No, this was to be a friendly visit, perhaps the last time she?d ever be able to visit Taurig in such a casual capacity. Selfishly, she wanted him back. She wanted him under her control, where she could feel free to be conflicted, but that was not fair to him, and it was not possible now. Now, she could let him go, now she could release him, but the thought hurt. When you let him go, it will be for forever she thought, and it was a truth she was reluctant to accept.
