I will never leave you. I swear it. I love you, and I need you.
-
I was an idiot to leave. I'm sorry. I... hope you can forgive me.
-
Eventually, when it felt like it had been time enough, he pulled away to look into her eyes.
-
He kissed her harder, not caring if he breathed, only caring that he was with her now, and wanting to be with her forever. His hand tangled in her hair as he melted into her right back. How could he have ever thought that this was wrong?

Tayen was immediately awash with joy, and relief. Before words to tell her even formed in his head, he kissed her, deeply. @Lightweaver2
-
Please. Please come back. I'm sorry. I need you.

Not knowing what do to or how to help, he just pulled her close to him, weeping, hoping she would come back.
-
Tayen lost track of time as he stood there, watching her. Then, all at once, it became too much. The warmth of her presence and her embrace, her care for him, her belief in him. The pain she was feeling in his absence. Most of all, his love for her. His resolve broke, and he rushed to her side, and his tears were flowing again, and he was shaking her, wanting more than anything for her to wake up.
-
Eventually, he peeked around the trees to see what was happening. Upon seeing her limp on the floor, he felt an uncontrollable spike of fear. Was she okay? She had to be okay, being away from him was best for her...
-
Tayen heard something, but didn't quite know what it was. He waited.
-
Hearing her begin to move, Tayen began to follow quietly. He didn't know why, because he couldn't go back to her... but he stayed close, just out of sight.
-
Tayen more or less did the same.
-
Tayen's mind was a whirlwind of conflict. He couldn't go back. Not after what he had done, not knowing what he could do.
-
Tayen was not out of earshot, only separated from Helda by a few layers of trees. At the sound, he felt his heart break.
-
As soon as he was out of her line of sight, Tayen collapsed, sobbing uncontrollably. Every part of him wanted to run back to her and be in her arms, but... this was the right thing. It had to be. Didn't it?
-
Tayen looked into her eyes for a long time, then tore his gaze away. He turned and began to walk alone into the woods.
-
I'm scared I'll hurt you. Or scared you'll realize that I don't deserve to be loved after what I've done. Those two things seem likely. It might be best, right?
-
What would it mean if I didn't?
-
I don't know.
-
Tayen touched Helda's body to let her inhabit it, then got himself dressed. Great.
-
Tayen found himself rather disconcerted, and couldn't speak to Helda while she was turned away.
