Slow down, time

Though still under the weather, Chimera was feeling better than he had been since losing Ashen. He knew that many blamed him for the loss of the empire but he wouldn't make excuses about it. Possibly dying, he had made the best decision for his people by merging with Elysium. That was why he and Aliana were still here. He owed the leaders of Elysium a debt and he would see it through.

As Dalila came to his side, the big brutes tail thumped on the plush furs. He had been quite surprised to see her, but was delighted that she'd returned to him. Dal had a tray of foods and medicines, things that he was tired of taking, but he would continue to do so as long as he continued to get better. Something in them seemed to be working slowly but surely.

The mottled fae's voice crooned to him and Chimera smiled up at her, one paw reaching out to take one of her own. "Better today. Still tired, but my chest feels less congested." He'd been practically bedridden since his arrival here. At least he wasn't coughing up sludge today.

Lifting Dalila's paw, Chimera placed a gentle kiss upon it. "I have missed you, my warrior queen." With a little tug, the striped brute sought to pull her down beside him, hoping for a little cuddle action while it was just the two of them.
