pearl and cerulean eyes searched the hurried storm clouds, his luxuriously abstemious coat beginning to feel the push and pull of angry winds. he was interrupted by a familiar, saddened voice. "no, no, no, my dear kodda. the gods do not hate." he slid toward her, his voice hiding all concern and assuming a more soothing tone. she would collapse and begin to cry out, and he would bow to press his nose gently against her cheek. "shhh," he would coo before allowing his svelte tongue to swipe toward her ear. "you will not lose me, i am here." he pulled away to gaze into her molten pools, his voice falling in soft tones. "i know the gods, kodda." was that a lie, jaeger? do you really know them after such a long period of absence? he scolded himself briefly, for neglecting his service as a religious man. "they do not wish to separate us, only test us." again he thought briefly of his neglect. yes, surely this was a test to see if he would again pledge faith to his gods. he would urge her, soft yet stern. "you must stay close, kodda. show them we are strong together and everything will be okay." he rose, those towering stilts of his carrying his body with ease in the direction he came from. "quickly, my dear, the storm is closer."
