Lei pulls back from the smell of the corpse. And how it looked. He turned and threw up on the ground, head spinning. He blinks, preparing himself, then turns to look at the body.
He whirls around and throws up again. "Ugh..." He says. "Why... ew..."
Aydri flinched at hearing the screech, then sheathed the knife. "Cedar?" She asks, looking down at him. Her body is drained, but she has to make sure he's okay. "Cedar, are you okay?"
A rage builds up inside of Aydri. "NO. You will not take EITHER of us." She pulls out a knife, one glowing black in a strange way. She stabs her arm, where the burning is strongest, trying to kill the thing.
"Because... because... because I love him!" Aydri says, breaking down. "He can't die, he's the only person who I've talked to... who I actually trust! Please... I'll do anything!"
