Welcome to Gaia! ::

Torvil chuckled and moved quickly to his wife's side, getting a bit more extravagant in his motions amongst the trees. His hands would help catapult him from branch to branch as much as he could. Finally he settled for just leaping from branch to branch next to his wife, his eyes keeping a careful watch on their new companions. While he trusted them only slightly more than his wife, he knew there was a line he had to draw.

He started to notice the pattern the wolves ran, they were herding them toward the edge of the wood.

He also noticed the elder had fallen back a bit more, and that worried him somewhat.

Torvil chuckled and dropped down out of the tree line after her, knowing this was going to more than piss off the wolves. Catching up with her he runs in pace with her, looking behind them every so often as they dark through the brush. Already he can hear the howls of the wolves as they pursue to, more than likely, kill them.

He was not going to let that happen.

Forcing the power up from within him and out, he forced a portal into existence and he and Morgana ran through it...

... out into a meadow that was familiar but not. Once their feet hit the grass the portal shut behind them, leaving the howls to all silent.

Torvil chuckled darkly. "More than likely not. I was hoping since it was a holy day for them that they would let us go and not defile their great hunt, but it looks like we had become the hunt." Shaking his head he got his bearings slowly and chuckled weakly. "And hey, wouldn't you know I'd port us to the middle of nowhere half way to Barton..."

"Yes, almost ho-" Torvil began speaking as he slowly started to move toward her. halfway through the sentence and mid-stride to boot, his eyes rolled back in his head and he collapsed hard onto the ground.

Slowly he regained consciousness a few moments later with a rough cough.
"Ow... Did someone get the number of the bus that hit me?"

"Morgana love, breath please," Torvil chuckled weakly as he tried to sit up, groaning a bit as he felt weak as all hell. "I think that last portal just took a bit more out of me than I was expecting is all, I think I'm ok."

He shakily got to his knees and winced. Every muscle in his body was screaming for energy and rest. He looked to his wife and chuckled weakly. "Let's get out of here and find some food..."

The energy transfusion did wonders, but Torvil was worried about Morgana being so cold. Closing his eyes he picked her up gently and held her close to him, and started to make his way out of the wilderness and into the more suburban villages that lay on the outskirts of Durem.

After about an hour, he brought Morgana and himself to their old apartment, frowning as he noted that they had in fact been evicted, but smiling to note that his lawyer had been working still on his retainer and had managed to get their things shipped to another place that was not too far away.

When he reached their new apartment, he found an emergency key where it was usually placed and managed to get inside and tucked Morgana into bed.

Raiding the kitchen area for what little food there was that his lawyer had seen to leave, he went back to Morgana in the warm bed, and wrapped his arms around her.

If this didn't work, he would warm her the only other way he knew how.

Torvil waited a little longer, but when her cough did not improve he frowned, and slowly slipped out of bed, letting her hand fall to the warm bed he had just left. He was not gone long, and the sound of running water in the bathroom told the story of why he'd left. When he returned, he picked her up gently, and brought her to the bathroom. Taking the utmost care with her clothing he slowly stripped her down and placed her gently in the large bathtub full of steaming hot water. Resting his horns against the heavy ceramic of the tub he held her hand gently in his as he breathed slowly, falling into a light, trance like sleep.

Morgana might recognize this meditation if she were to wake up and see him, it was something he did when he was reviewing something he didn't have right on hand and was trying to remember things.
