Slow down, time

She was grateful that the Elysium leaders had been understanding of her crashing their meeting through she knew it was a risky move on her part. Regardless, she was very happy to be back with Chimera and Aliana once more. She was surprised to find that they were all empty nesters now. It had been a very long time since they hadn't had at least a few children of some kind around them and it felt strange in a way. Their children were grown and off living their own lives, as she had seen with Ruse only a few days prior. The fact that her little baby was now four still didn't feel real in her mind... Where had the time gone?

Dalila took a couple of days to get settled in with Chi and Ali and letting herself get familiarized with the island that Elysium called home. It wasn't the lovely tropical island that they had once called home, but it wasn't a bad place to live either. She was certain that Ali had been plenty stressed and over worked being Chimera's sole caretaker for some time so this morning she had insisted that Ali take some time to herself to do whatever it was she needed or wanted to do, even if it was just to take a moment for herself to have a nice bath or something of that sort. Besides, she had yet to have a moment alone with Chimera since she got back and even if he wasn't well enough for a "proper" reunion it would still be nice to have some time with him.

Once Aliana was shooed away to have a spa day, Dalila went about preparing the medicines Ali had shown her that she had been using for him and a bit of breakfast, bringing them to him in bed. Putting down the small tray of light foods and herbal remedies, she settled down on her stomach beside Chi and gently roused him with a little smile. "Good morning. How are you feeling?"
