Telamon x You

*snuggles closer instinctively* Mmm...

*His eyes flutter open at the movement* Still here. *pulls her closer against his chest, his voice rough with sleep* Not going anywhere.

*peeks with one eye open*

*slowly slinks back* But I really am thirsty... *pouts* Please?

I'll get it. *stands* Stay.

*brightens up* Really? You're the best! *bounces on bed*

*softly snores* Zzz...

*His breathing deepens, matching hers as exhaustion finally claims him*

*Opens one eye* Okay, he's finally asleep.. *Sneaks to the door*

I worry just enough. *His grip tightens slightly* Those ruins have claimed stronger than you.

*His wings flutter anxiously* A trap or two? Dear, those traps are meant to kill. *steps closer* Promise me you'll be more careful this time.

*the next day Brighteye was gone and she left a note*

*His claws crumple the note* Brighteye! *wings spreading in fury*

*he reads the note* "Telamon, I went to the market alone. I promise I'll be careful. I love you - Brighteye"
