[Edel PRP] Missed You~! (Adi/Illisia)

[Zero Dream]

"Probably." Illisia answered, after a conflicted moment. It was better if she just knew, and it would have been unfair to burden the dragon king with having to break the ice with her. "But it's okay. He'll take good care of me." She smiled, through her own smile was sad, as she finished the braid, then unwound a bit of leather from her glove to tie the end off so that the braid would not come undone... too quickly, at least.

[Meepfur]

She'd known her whole life what happened to hosts, had always known that she couldn't have Illisia forever, but it was easy to ignore the future. It wasn't today, so what did it matter? There was time, time to learn, time to love, time to just be. But there wasn't anymore. What did she do now? What would she do when her friend was gone?

The braid finished, Adi turned to hug her teacher, differently this time. Not so tight, with her cheek pressed to the night elf's chest. She cried, quietly, and didn't try to stop.

"I'm glad you came back." A moment, and she amended, "I'm glad you came."

[Zero Dream]

...Oh good lord.

Her arms wrapped up around Adi instinctively, and Illisia did nothing to make her stop crying. It was something that needed to happen, and she would let it run it's course.

"Im glad I came, too." She said, softly. "Im glad I got to know someone as amazing as you, Adi."

[Meepfur]

Illisia thought she was amazing? Really? It meant more than she could grasp to know that the night elf thought that. Adi didn't stop crying, but it did slow, eventually, enough for her to snuffle out a promise to her friend.

"I promise I'll be a good druid, and I'll take care of Glyph, and..and Elik too, if he stays." Not that he really needed taking care of, but he'd be sad too, wouldn't he? Even sadder. And if there was anything she was good at, it was being happy, even when she wasn't really.

[Zero Dream]

Illisia made no effort to make the little girl stop crying - these feelings had to come out, and there was nothing to do but let the pain run it's course until it was over, so that the wound would start healing.

It didn't make her feel any better about causing this in the first place, but... How many hadn't gotten one last chance to see who they loved ? How many hadn't gotten the chance to say goodbye ?

No, it was better this way, than the alternative. "Please do." She said, softly, continuing to run her fingers through her hair. "He might be subborn about it... But he will need you."

And Glyph... She had no idea where he had gone, hadn't seen him since they had returned. She wasn't sure if there would be enough time... "Glyph will need you, too."

[Meepfur]

As much as she'd always wanted to grow up, to be an adult, she'd never wanted this, never the hard parts. To love someone and lose them... Adi hugged closer and asked softly, "Can I stay awhile?"

Could she just fall asleep, then wake up and have everything be okay again?

[Zero Dream]

"Of course." She said gently, running slender fingers through the girl's long white hair. "You can stay, dear." She could stay... As long as she had left, as far as Illisia was concerned, but she refused to let Adrienne see, if it was at all possible.

They had time, through. She knew this without even asking the god within her, and it was both exciting and utterly terrifying. She moved forward to land a soft kiss on Adi's forehead.
