★☆★In My Arms★☆★
Melody was laying in the grass outside, no where near the twins that had told her they didn't want her around. That was fine, she had been just on her own now thinking. Reflecting on all the things she had done, wondering if she was even making a difference. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and just let the warm of the sun hit her face. "...maybe I should learn to conceal my markings..." she muttered to herself before the sun appeared to be blocked out. Clouds, probably. She sighed again sorrowfully.
"But I love your markings..." he spoke softly, a smile in his voice as he stood over her.
Melody opened her eyes suddenly, and scrambled to her feet but ended up falling back down with a small alarmed harp noise. She looked up at him and her eyes widened. "Leukos?!"
His smile widened softly, "In the flesh.." he offered a hand to help her up. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.."
Melody practically ignored his hand, pushing herself to a sudden stand and throwing herself to him, hugging him tightly. "I'm so glad its really you.." she comment, her voice giving away that she was already crying.
Leukos was alarmed at first but relaxed, hugging her back, and even petting the top of her head like when they were kids. "Hey hey, don't cry... I'm here now. It's okay." he assured. "Mara brought me back because I can see spirits and now identify them... I can help fight if things get crazy again..." he explained.
She just held on, refusing to let go. "And what about Kira..."
"I've already talked to Mara about it and it's fine. I can explain it in detail later to you as well." he nudged her slightly to see if she would let go.
She didn't, her body language even refusing.
Leukos chuckled a bit, "Okay... however long you like.."
She nodded slowly, burying her face into his chest and just kept hugging him for the while.
