Home isn't always a place, it's a person. One that can walk away and leave never to be seen again but always stuck in our hearts.
The walk was... I don't even know how to describe it.
I could feel the palpable tension between Xaden and I, also the realization we're going back. Not necessarily for our own good but for Andarna's. Hell... they could kill us right on the spot if they really wanted to.
Xaden keeps a gentle yet firm grip on me, rubbing his thumb gently on my body as we walk. " I told you to stop doing that..." I mumble yet again.
" Do what?"
" Your thumb...thing. Knock it off."
" Did you not get enough sleep last night... you seem extra cranky." He adds not paying no attention to my sourness towards him.
" I haven't been sleeping good." I grumble.
He stops going slightly infront of me, yet still having a good grip on me. " Since when?"
" Since we left."
He examines me as he does, " I could always sl-"
" No way in hell." I quickly counter.
He frowns, " If it would help you sleep Freya."
" No it wouldn't."
" And how would you know unless we try it." He argued coming just a little closer so we're mere inches apart. " I want to make you feel better Fury.."
" You can't."
" And why can't I?" He asks with a little more force.
" Because you can't bring him back." I snap.
I see his jaw tick, once, twice, three times before he takes a breath I know he does to keep his composure as he looks away, towards a small valley. " Would you... want to say goodbye? Before we go? It's not confirmed we'd be making it back depending on what leadership might do... And you didn't get to say goodbye properly so..."
I feel that fist grip my hear, squeezing...
" Do we have time?"
" Always." He confirms quickly, " Are you sure you feel up to it?"
I nod.
" Ok." He drift off the path, Xaden still stays right at my side as we walk, insisting keeping an arm around me even though I know he's probably trying to gt his fix in before I refuse to let him touch me again.
