[html]Silly boy just wants a hug. 300+
Ehno finally scrounged up enough common sense to reprimand himself for his impulsive actions and stood staring at the door, thinking himself a fool. Just as he managed to pull himself out of his stupor enough to turn and leave, the door opened. It was such a simple, everyday action, but still his heart raced in his chest and he froze in place for an instant, amber eyes locked onto the doorway. Miraculously, as if she had heard his crazy thoughts calling out to her, Savina stood there, staring back at him with as much shock as he was feeling. Silence hung over them with the suddenness of the moment, and it stripped him of his ability to move. He had convinced himself so thoroughly that this little middle-of-the-night venture of his was pointless, that now that he was proved wrong, he couldn’t seem to remember what it was he should do.
After a moment passed and the initial shock began to wear off, those old feelings of loneliness and longing came rushing back to him in a sudden, unforgiving wave. His shocked limbs found the ability to move once again and they took advantage of it without haste. Before he knew it, he had taken two quick steps past the open doorway, arms reaching out to embrace his sister in a hug. “Savina,” he muttered, barely above a whisper but so full of emotion. The pair of siblings had left things off on a sour note before he departed for Phoenix Valley and he hated it. Ehno did not know how heavily those feelings of betrayal still hung in her heart or whether she would pull away from his touch in disgust. But he didn’t care. He needed to feel her there in his arms, to know that she was real. Because only then could he allow himself to hope that they could try to fix things. Only then would he feel like he was truly at home.
