Aran Finn
Redeemed
Alen went from ready to be ravaged, to pinned under Kitt, in about half a second. At first he thought this was the end ... she was going to take his clothes and his pride in front of everyone in the room, propriety be damned. But it wasn't the case. As she looked up, Alen saw a faced wracked by grief, tears streaming down her face ... she needed him more than ever. That was all the incentive he needed to get it together. Eyes roamed to the scene across the room. Three Fringers, three near corpses ... blood, confusion, anger, grief ... Alen was no empath, but he could feel those emotions flow through the room and tighten his chest. He looked back at Kitt, who was so close to breaking point, and his heart and stomach did a simultaneous backflip. She needed him. The room seemed to go dark around him, the hectic levels of noise fading to silence, and four pieces of his mind became two, and two slid seamlessly back into one.
A hand went through Kitt's hair and grasped the back of her head comfortingly as the other drew her closer to him, letting her bury herself in him. His head buried in the crook of her shoulder, Alen knew that there was nothing he could say. No wisecrack would make her smile or laugh ... there was tragedy in the air, and all Alen could do was be a rock. The love gas was still in the air, but Alen was not so susceptible anymore. He needed to fall back to his strength, for he was strong, and the strong ignore what they cannot defeat.
