Aude's heart jumped in her chest. She wanted to help him, though she'd been trying her best to stay distant and objective. The truth was, when she first found him in the cellar her heart caved just a little at the sight of his condition. She thought taking him to the center was his best chance for survival. It seemed almost ironic to her that now, she was his best chance.
"You're sure it's alright?" she asked, her serious face cracking a relieved smile.

"Absolutely positive." Ice replied. A good bond was hard to find, and as hard as this one had fought to do the right thing (even though it wasn't the right thing, really) she would fight to make sure her feien was well taken care of. "I'll just need your name and the information you gave Soho, so I can report it to the shop." She finished.
"Oh good!" Soho said, jumping to her feet. "I want to see him when he's feeling better!"
Aleric smiled, relaxing.

Aude blushed a teeny bit. "Forgive me for being so rude and not introducing myself. I suppose we got caught up in all this and I--" She cut herself off. "Eh, no matter..."
She extended a hand to Ice and a smile broke completely loose. "I'm Audespero. I don't really have a last name or anything. It's kinda complicated, so that's a story for another day. But pretty much anyone who knows me will know who you're speaking of when you ask for "Aude"."
She paused to gather her words. "If it's really what's best for him..." She glanced down at him, still very much concerned. "Then i'll definatley take him in."
The feien's mouth parted, and a raspy tone escaped. "I'm.... glad..." He slowly sat up and braced himself half-assedly, propping a weak arm behind himself. His balance waivered.

Soho squealed as Ice shook the hand. "He's getting better already!" She said, hopping up and down on Ice's shoulder. "Now you need to get lots of rest and brush your hair and--"
"Soho." Aleric said, trying to hide his amusement. "Perhaps we should leave them to get to know each other better."
"Oooh... good point." Soho said.
"Aude-Spero..." Ice repeated as she pulled out a pen and jotted it down on the note. "Aleric's right, though." She said. "Perhaps you two should get to know each other now. Figure out where he'll be sleeping... what his name is..."

Aude reached her hand out for the feien, shaking slightly with excitment and a tad of nervousness.

Ice handed him over with a knowing smile. "It gets easier with time." She said softly. "Soon you'll forget that there was a time when he wasn't there."

Aude felt a slight spark of---well, something---as soon as Donovan's body slightly weighted her hand. Either way, it just felt better knowing that everything was all figured out, and that he would hopefully be alright.
The feien looked up at Aude. His sight was so blurry that she was just barely an outline of messy shapes and colors. "Thank you for accepting me..." His voice cracked several times on each word and he leaned back into her palm.

"Yeah." Ice said with a smile. "We'll leave you two alone for now."
"Bye, mister!" Soho called with a wave.
"And thank you." Aleric added to Aude. "Each bonded feien brings a better chance at the survival of our race." He said as Ice turned to walk away.

"Goodbye!" Aude chimed as she waved them off.
Donovan looked at Soho and the others, his mouth parting but no sound escaped. He mouthed "Thank-you" and curled back up in Aude's palm.
