A Meeting Among the Dead

[Ashe Senari]

"Yeah, these stares are making me uncomfortable," She replied, grabbing his hand and allowing him to drag her. The warriors first course of action was too take a shower. Once she finished, she threw on a pair of loose white pants and a white tank top. The silver-eyed girl flopped down on the bed and curled. She really wanted a drink. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

Kharen, meanwhile, just stared as she lay there on the bed and curled up before standing and moving over to sit beside her. His hand glided through her hair and parted it like rivers of silver white water hitting stones in a river that only flowed on. He loved the feeling of having someone beside him as a friend and really he would not mind this continuing all night. Her sleeping while he sat here and comforted her, it wasn't like he slept much these days.

 

[Ashe Senari]

Ashe unconsciously cuddled closer to them. She had never really had anyone play with her hair before, but the feeling was nice. She tilted her head a bit, and smiled in her sleep. She was really comfortable. The feeling of Kharen sitting beside her made her sleep easier. Having a friend nearby, knowing they would keep her safe was one of the best things she had ever felt.

He smiled as she got close and she couldn't help but laugh a bit as he felt her there. It was certainly cute if not anything else and he couldn't help but moving toe lean against her as she cuddled up closer to him. Why she was doing this he didn't really care, he just wanted to enjoy it as he knew such a thing would not last for ever.

 

[Ashe Senari]

Her hand wormed it's way across his stomach so that she was hugging his mid-section with her face buried in his side as he stroked her white hair. She felt so comfortable around him, and at this point he was even beginning to invade her dreams. She knew such things were unlikely to last, but she would still have her memories and dreams whenever he decided he was done helping her. Part of her hoped he would stay with her forever, but she knew that was impossible. The young woman smiled in her sleep, thinking about the man beside her. To anyone else it would be clear that she was falling in love with him, thought Ashelotte herself remained oblivious to her own feelings. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

Kharen fared no better in noticing her feelings, coviently for once. Almost like in so many comics Kharen had ready about in the past where the characters forgot about this power they always had and never seemed to use it when it mattered most. So instead he himself leaned back and started to fall asleep as he sat there beside her. Something told him that perhaps this time he would no longer see the faces or the deaths of thsoe thousands, no millions that lost their lives every day. He shuddered before curling his hands around himself and he stared now at the close friend in silence. With that he moved and lay beside her on the bed. Tonight would be easy to sleep through.

 

[Ashe Senari]

Ashelotte made a small noise in her sleep and cuddled closer. She hugged him tightly as she slept, dreaming peacefully for the first time in awhile. She awoke the next day still cuddled up to him, with her head resting on his chest. The warrior blinked a few times, trying to be sure that she wasn't imagining the situation. When she was sure it really was happening the young Echani tried desperately to go back to sleep, not wanting the moment to end. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

He felt her emotions and sat there for a few moments before smiling and looking at her face as he spoke. "I know you woke up... how are you..." He hadn't slept at all and it showed in his eyes as he stared at her almost blankly. "Hope you slept well, you were certainly hugging me tightly enough all night that i was almost out of breath from how tight it was." His tone was happy and clear as he couldn't help it and he didn't really understand why it was that way for him.

 

[Ashe Senari]

She glanced up at him and flicked her head so her hair fell in her face, giving her something to hide behind. "You're a good pillow," she mumbled, slowly loosening her grip on him. She didn't fully let go, but she loosened her hold a bit as he said something about being unable to breath. The young warrior had no idea why she loved being so close to him.

"Im sorry Dove, what was that you said?" His hand went up and he tried to brush her hair to the side and couldn't help it but smile at her face. She looked so embarrassed it was completely entrancing to him and he couldn't help but take his eyes off her face and he drew a hand over her cheek before smiling. "You know, you should stop hiding your face, i like to stare at your eyes when i can and its almost something i cant stop doing no matter what."

 

[Ashe Senari]

Ashe blushed and resumed cuddling up to him. "Why?" she asked, confused as to what he meant by that. She had no idea what she was feeling towards the man. It felt very similar to the way she had felt about Yusan before he died, but surely she couldn't have gotten over the man so quickly? The warrior sighed softly as she tried to puzzle through what she was feeling. Did she love Kharen now? Was it okay for her to be in love with someone else now? She wasn't sure and she wasn't about to ask. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

"I don't know..." He stared and looked up at the ceiling before closing his eyes again. "I just know that i like laying here..." He smiled and just let his chest raise and fall, loving the feeling that he had in his chest but he could not quite tell what it was for someone with a acute sense of empathy. This person beside him inspired such an odd feeling in him that he had felt in others today but he had no idea what word to link to it so he just laid back and was happy about it.

 

[Ashe Senari]

Ashe merely accepted the answer and cuddled closer to him. Laying next to him like this just felt so right. Maybe she was right, maybe she really had fallen in love with him, though the idea of telling him such terrified her. She had never been good at voicing her thoughts, and voicing her emotions was nearly impossible for her. She'd just keep quiet for now until something either drove her to confess her feelings, or he admitted to having fallen in love with her. [member="Kharen Promethien"]
