Raquel felt a catch in her throat as he held her. She almost immediately caved in and turned into him, burying herself in his embrace. She could immediately feel the tears welling up inside her as she clung to him.
They were fools if they thought they could just pretend nothing had happened and just carry on 'normally'.
"...How do we get it back Damian? How do we get back all that time?" She breathed desperately into him. She felt that was a big part of it.. that they were both feeling so hungry for the other emotionally, physically, really in any way. Thats what time and distance did. "Distance makes the heart grow sharper" yet she knew it had simply widdled her and Damian down to almost nothing. It seemed they'd have to start over again....if that was even possible.

"We live every day exactly the way we want to, and with each other. That is how we do it."
He could feel all the emotion coming back in him as well, but feeling stoic, he did nothing but remain still. He could feel Raquel's tense body in his embrace and wished that she would cry somehow. Maybe that was what they both needed to do was get it all out the moment it started causing them pain.
"And we will see Richard and Lorey, and Nat and Teagan, and we become a family again. A strange, wonderful family on the beautiful planet of Druis. How does that sound?"

Her grip tightened on him as her breathing became like that of quiet sobs, but she wouldn't let the tears out... not yet...
"God it hurts though...Why does it hurt when we're together again?" She asked in barely an audible whisper as she crawled up almsot on top of him, just really needing to feel him against her.

"Because we feel it is so unfair that this has happened at all. And we see the pain in one another, and want to remove it."
Damian buried his face in her hair and neck, just breathing in. How beautiful she was, even when she was hurting.
He had to think of something to cure it, though. There had to be a way to slowly but surely take this all back and away...
"I love you, dearest."

"God Damian-" Her voice cracked as it seemed she was on the verge of tears finally. "-I love you too..." She swallowed, hugging him again as the silence came over them.
It was a wonderful yet terrible feeling to be back again. Damian was right, She was back and things were ok but.... seeing all the pain her darling had gone through... it was heartbreaking...

There were a few moments of silence before Damian pulled back and kissed her.
"What do you say to having a bath? We have that big tub, and I got the loveliest bubble bath... Little known fact: I really do enjoy a good aromatherapy. I could check on your wound, too and make sure you're alright..."
He sounded soothing and calm, because there was no rush for any of it. Everything was going to be alright.

She kept her eyes closed as she pulled back, though still rested her head against him. "Sounds lovely..." She whispered, rubbing her face, feeling positively drained even though she hadn't even cried. It was a terrible feeling, feeling so weak and vulnerable. But it was somehting they'd work on together.

"Alright then. We'll get everything cleaned up here, and then we'll head off to relax and see that cut."
Which was exactly what they did. Damian and Raquel put all their leftovers away, and headed upstairs to one of the master bathrooms to enjoy a nice, hot bath. Damian brought out every bath salt, every bubble concoction he had in all the prettiest glass bottles. Raquel could choose from a lavender scented calming bath to something that would make them smell like oranges. Damian would prefer not to smell like fruit, though.
"So," he said, sitting in his towel as the water filled the great tub. "What shall it be?"

Raquel herself was wrapped snugly in a towel, inhaling the slowly rising steam as she took everything in, almost forgetting this space in their home. Yes getting used to everything again would take some time.
"I..dont know...somehting comforting..." She spoke up a bit, feeling suddenly jstu very quiet. She sat on a luxurious padded bench nearthe tub and Damian as she seemed to stare off into space, distracted with her thoughts. The heat and steam already helped htough, and she was thankful for that...that nad getting to spend this time with Damian just relaxing...it would hopefully help them both feel better.

He saw how quiet she was and it worried him, but what was to be expected? He could do nothing but select a few nice scents. Lavender and chamomile, those would be the ones. Damian sprinkled them in and let them dissolve into oils and bubbles in the hot water. He slipped in first and turned around to see if Raquel would follow.
"Lovely..." he said quietly.

Raquel glanced up not even realizing he was ready. She stood and came over, gentle letting her towel fall to the floor. Her body was so frail looking... her ribs were slightly noticeable, as was her spine...really any bone you oculd think of was just barely visible when she moved. She stepped into the water silently, sinking down into the warmth with a slight grimace though tied her hair up loosely to keep form being too soaking wet.
After ashort moment she finally spoke. "This is lovely...thank you Damian..." She looked up at him softly, looking worn out nad weak strangely. "I needed this..."

He could truly see how frail she was in the light. Everything had been a rush before when she came and they became entangled in each other, but now, it was about calm and setting things truly straight. Damian floated over and kissed her cheek affectionately, and went to see how her back was healing.
"Darling, you are beautiful," he cooed. "If you need sleep after this, then we will."
How many times could he tell her to simply say what she needed? It was becoming lovingly monotonous.

She sighed and leaned forward to let him check it out. "I don't know...I always feel...so gross after i sleep..." She smiled back at him. "I think it might be just because I'm so not used to it...I dunno..." She sighed, resting her head on her arms over the nearest edge of the tub so Damian could look at her back.

He looked everything over and saw that her wound wasn't as open as it had been, though still rather scabbed and ugly-looking. At least there wasn't a chance of it becoming terribly infected. That was what worried him the most, what with it being along her spine. If he was to get her back only to lose her to an infection, he wouldn't survive the shock.
Damian kissed her scar and glided along side of her to rest his arms on the side of the tub as well.
"But you will be. You'll learn to sleep again, and I'll have to wake you up by jostling and tickling you."

She frowned slightly, leaning into him. I hope so... She said to herself as she inhaled deeply. The scents he had used were helping her relax which ws nice. That coupled with his scent made things even jstu a little better.
"I just want to skip this stuff...get back to where I feel normal...myself even you know?" She smiled up at him, lifting a hand to touch his cheek and chin softly before giving him a soft, light kiss. "This is absolutely lovely though... Just having you here..." She smiled, pushing back some of her longer bangs so she could see him easier.
