What we've lost, what we can gain

She closed the rest of the distance between them, and he couldn't contain his excitement and happiness at seeing her. She was such a dear friend, even if he hadn't been able to show it as much as he would have liked when he was alive, he knew that she knew. “Acere… It truly has been too long.” It was good to hear her voice. It was good to see her again. Her voice was gentle, and he knew gentleness didn't always come easy for her at times. She was always a spitfire. She struggled with many things in life, and he hoped that things had calmed down for her and that she was able to find peace. The last time they had spoken, he had been unable to stay for long. The night he had appeared at Samhain had been too short, and his spirit had faded well before he was ready. “It is fitting to show up here when my anger burns with such rage that it could turn me to ashes.”

He gazed at her with curiosity. A brow point was raised in question. So, her emotions were getting the better of her again? He supposed it was something that couldn't be helped. He didn't blame her...it seemed fate liked to throw her on a rollercoaster, testing her fortitude time and time again. He was curious about what had been happening in her world. Her life. She didn't seem like the weight of the world was finally off her shoulders...

He grinned, "Yes, I often think of my home. It brings me comfort, so this is often what my world looks like," He said gently. He loved his Northern home. Winterfell, despite its demise, would always be his true home. He did not allow Ignis' past actions to taint it. But then the question of his nephew came up. He sighed heavily, a sad smile showing. "No. He shies away from me. He feels my presence...I know it. But anytime I get close, he turns away. I fear for him still, but I'm afraid there is nothing more I can do for him." It was sad to say, and he hated to admit it. But he could not help Ignis when Ignis refused it. "What of you? Last we met, you mentioned he had taken one of yours. Did he return her without harm?"
