out of character
Her eyes focused past him, staring at the trees. She didn't want to think about it. Didn't want to realize that he was dead and gone, never to return. It hurt so much, remembering it. She would never have the answers to her questions. Nothing more than an emptiness in her soul. No one could fix this. His voice came out, thick and heavy. The pain in it didn't come close to Adelle's, but it gave voice to the emotions that refused to escape, trapped deep in the pit of her stomach. She hadn't cried, not yet.
Arms wrapped around her, so strong. They were warm, comforting. It wasn't made to restrain her and stop her from striking others. It just held her close, protecting her. Adelle let out a deep breath, and the tears finally came. Tears that should have come days ago trickled down her face slowly. Wrapping back into Skoll she nuzzled into the comfort he was offering her. His scent, so wild and different from her own, acted as a comfort as she cried out her sorrow, frame quivering as she let go.
