"I still wish I could do something for you," Arlen said.

"I don't need you to do anything." Lily told him, poking his nose. "I'm doing okay. It's Cerri that needs help..." she paused, then blinked, just realizing something. "Though now we'd have to find her first. She's gone."

"What do you mean by gone? She's not using magic is she?"

"No." Lily answered, looking faintly puzzled. "Cerri's just not in the Muffin anymore. That's all I know...I can feel her when she's close, and right now, I can't." The teen sighed and hugged Arlen tighter, her face in his chest. "While we were recovering, she talked about travelling. I guess she decided to go."

"It's freezing out though," Arlens says worried. "Who knows what could happen to her."

Lily paused, her eyes going unfocused again. "I think..." she began, speaking slowly. "I think she needs this right now. The alone time, I mean, and she used to travel a lot. It might jog her memory."

"I'll know if anything goes wrong." Lily told him, then pulled away, grabbing her empty bowl. "Are you done?" she asked him, indicating his.

Arlen nods. "You can finish it if you want."

Lily shook her head, then walked silently into the kitchen. She started to wash the dishes, body tense, without any of her normal humming or chatting.

Arlen watches Lily worriedly for a while and then moves to the couch to wait for her.

As she washed the dishes, Lily began to cry without making a sound, not wanting Arlen to hear. The teen took her time, letting herself get the emotion out, then washed her face with cold water to get rid of all traces of her tears before she headed out to the main room. Lily went to him, then curled up in his lap immedietly, her cheek pressed to his chest, over his heart.

Arlen wraps his arms and a blanket around Lily, holding her close. "I'm sorry," he whispers.

"It's not your fault." Lily whispered back, tilting her head so she could look up into his eyes. Then she gently tugged him down for a kiss, snuggled as close to him as she could manage.

"I know, but I don't like it when you're upset," he said before starting to nod off.
