Skoll leaned back, the fierce air about his form lessening even more. It actually looked like he was trying to relax. Something Adelle didn't know if she remembered anymore. It hurt so much, thinking about what was missing. Why did he die? It ran through her mind again and again, an endless painful cycle that didn't seem like it was going to end. The hybrid's words were awkward, uncertain in what he was saying. Tilting her head Adelle considered. Long enough that we aren't children anymore. That stage of innocence was passed.
His arms open, inviting her closer. Did Adelle dare to get that close? The feelings she had for Skoll were only half remembered. She was afraid it was a dream, that if she got close to him it would just disappear and leave her even more bare than before. Staying away was more difficult. She stepped to his side, stopping just before she was close enough to hug him. Grandpa's dead. Surprisingly, she didn't cry. There was just the empty tone of her voice.
