Young and Beautiful [ Druig ]

eight

The rest of the Eternals went to the words where Ikaris told them that Gilgamesh was fighting a stronger deviant in the woods. They arrive to the woods, all slowly stopping when they see.

Thena sobbing over Gilgamesh's lifeless body while repeating, "I'll remember."

Narcisa steps back, her mouth slightly ajar from what she's witnessing. She looks at the others who were in shock to, she closes her mouth, swallowing the large lump in throat. It doesn't help, it's still rising. She turns around and takes a few steps back, stumbling as she releases a loud sob. She feels arms around her and she doesn't have to look to know it's Druig holding her up. She shakes her head as she looks up, blinking repeatedly like it's going to make her stop crying. She slightly slumps down and looks over to Thena.

Thena looks over to her, she raises her hand to her and Druig lets her go, Narcisa taking Thena's hand and sitting with her. She looks at Gilgamesh, "Oh Gil," she whispers, touching his chest and closing her eyes.

Narcisa in a cream colored dress with a matching fur coat and hat, and pearls walked up to the front door and pushed it open, Thena and Gilgamesh sitting at the table playing cards. "I should have called?" She grins, Gilgamesh smiling and laughing, and he goes to hug her.

He picks her up, squeezing her a little to tight so she has to pat his back. "Sorry Cissy, I get excited to see you." He says as he lets her go.

"I get excited to see you too Gil," Narcisa says, pinching his cheeks.

Gilgamesh chuckles, he looks over at Thena. "Thena, looks who's here." The Goddess of War looks over her shoulder and smiles at Narcisa.

"Narcisa, it's good to see you," Thena says.

Narcisa lets out a sigh of relief and goes up Thena, kissing the top of her head. "Nice to see you too T." She takes off her coat, gloves, and hat. "A few things," she grabs her purse and dumps out its contents on the table, a bunch of books. "My works were named in the paper, saying they're on the road to be classics."

"That's great!" Gilgamesh says, clapping for her. "I think."

"It is and I brought you guys copies," she picks up a book. "And these are actually signed by my actual name." She says and she takes a seat at the  table. "And what's for dinner?"

"One peach cobbler on the way, just the way you like it Cissy." Gilgamesh says and starts getting everything together.

Thena taps Narcisa's hand, the latter looks at Thena, who motions to the cards. Narcisa grins and grabs the cards and begins shuffling them for the two of them to play while Gilgamesh cooks.

It was later that night, Narcisa sitting in front of the fireplace. She hears a sound and turns to see Gilgamesh walking over to her. "Couldn't sleep?" He asks, Narcisa scoots over so he can sit with her.
