  1. “She’s tough. Sure she’ll be upset for a while, but she’ll bounce back.”
  2. Still half asleep, she didn’t fully comprehend what she saw at first. @Ancient Elantrian
  3. She assumed that he had gone back to Death.
  4. Aventine stirred. She wiped her face and pushed her hair back into place.
  5. Her eyes closed, and she drifted into a delicate sleep. ~~~ She stood, propping her wrists on the balcony. The ashfall was light tonight, near nonexistent. The chamber played softly, distantly. She payed it no heed. An arm wrapped around her waist, and she leaned into the man it belonged to. She didn't need to look at his face to know who he was. Only one treated her like this. "They're beautiful tonight," Alston said. His neck was craned up to the sky. As a Tineye, he was able to see things he called stars. He said they were small glowing points in the sky that lit up the night. "I wish you could see them." "All I need is to hear you talk about them. That feels like enough." "It shouldn't be. You can't hear beauty, believe me, I've tried." "The chamber would disagree," Aventine smiled. "The chamber is biased," Alston joked. "Real beauty is felt. Not heard." "But you've never felt stars." "Not physically, no. But somewhere inside, they make me feel something. I don't know what it is, but I do feel it." "Perhaps you should go into poetry," she smirked. He shook his head and smiled. "You know I couldn't. Well, maybe in my free time..." She chuckled and pressed her head into his chest. His arm tightened around her. "I wish this moment could last forever," she'd whispered. "Maybe it will. In a memory, or something similar. Because as long as we are here to remember it, it exists within us." He hesitated. "Maybe I should write poetry." She laughed and closed her eyes. "I love you." "I love you too, my dearest." ~~~ Aventine smiled as she slept.
  6. After a few moments, Aventine's eyes began to grow heavy.
  7. She smiled a little. "That seems to be the one constant. There, at least I knew what craziness to expect. Here, it's just... there's no rhyme or reason. But in some ways, that makes it better." "It's not just the events that are chaotic. It's also the reaction. How it affects you and those around you. That is infinitely better here than it was before."
  8. She glanced up at Insa. "You're better now, right?" @InfiniteInsanity
  9. "I see." She looked down at the book in front of her. She no longer felt like reading.
  10. "Why.. didn't anything happen to you just now?"
  11. She rested her forehead on her clasped hands and sighed.
  12. He had a room on the second floor of the Pokemon Center.
  13. "I-I mean, it's not that I want you to leave, but I don't want you to suffer more because of your disconnection with Death."
  14. "Please." Despite being clasped, her fingers still shook a little.
  15. She waved dismissively. "N-no, it's f-ine. You need to g-o..."
  16. She made her way back to her chair and thunked down.
