[/html]She couldn't move farther, her ruby eyes simply flitting over his features in an attempt to seek out the child in him. There seemed no traces. All left was a beautiful future, her golden brother returning to the fold, back to the kingdom of the Lykoi. The prince de le Poer to match her, to serve beneath the God. Her God, even if Gabriel wasn't his. She had been waiting for him to come back to her, and there he was. All but a stranger to the Inferni lands.
Emotion bubbled up in her heart, unmoving as he approached and embraced her. Her body was tense, poised for defense in case Ezekiel was not so kind as their father. She knew she had run and that he had come after her, and she knew she should have waited for him. But she didn't. And he had lost her. It was a brief moment before she allowed the skull to drop into the snow, her hands finding his back as she took part in returning his gesture of affection. It was not the same body she remembered, this new one laden with muscles that hadn't been there before.
Stunned, she simply gazed out over the land that spread out behind him, listening to his voice. He was happy? She had caused yet more distress and he was happy? "I'm sorry." The apology was weak, her voice bordering on a sob, as she clung to him. Her mind turned to their youth; the war had been difficult, but he had persevered to become what he was at that moment. A beautiful memory, and a bright future. A dawn to the sunset world she had stagnated inside of.
Though she was unwilling to break their moment alone, she glanced over her shoulder, searching for signs of the Aquila who was not there. He would need to be called, as she wanted to see her brother set properly within the ranks of their home once more. In a quick moment of thought, she decided to leave it to Ezekiel, letting him set the pace of the reunion while she watched, counting the seconds in her head.
