I felt his heart, beating through to me, desperate to contact me. My own beat at the steady rthymic pattern it had always followed.
They, we, us, cannot happen.
However there was nothing more here other than this lavender haired man. That and maybe my job.
I wrapped my arms around his tiny body, think I may accidently squeeze the life from him. However that seemed to be the point, seeing as he tried to pulled me into his being.
I coughed and stroked his cheek, following the line of his jaw to the base of his neck. He backed off, his arms coming to rest on my elbows.
"Anako... I'm so sorry! It's all my fault!" He cried out, shimmering globes of water being flung from his eyes as he shook his head and buried it within my chest again.
"Don't be foolish. You are not in the wrong." I whispered, resting my head on his.
He pushed off my chest, his eyes staring disbelievingly up at me.
"... Wha-what..." He chuckled nervously, his face filling with puzzelment.
"You have commited no offense against me." I riterate, pushing a long strand of hair back from his face.
He swooned and collasped to his knees. I was beside him in a flash, laying him back on the ground. His hands took mine, bringing them to his face.
"Is this real?" He asked, nuzzeling into my open palms.
"Yes?" I say, quite confused by his antics. "What is this about?"
"I... Had a very strange... Dream..." He sighed, his hand releasing mine so he lay it across his face, shielding his eyes.
I casually retracted my hands, dragging my left hand across his smoothed skin. The raised collarbone was the perfect track for me to guide my hands over to his shoulder.
He shuddered, moaning softly.
"That felt nice..." He purred, raising his arm so one eye peeked out.
I retraced his collarbone, letting my swirling fingers dance across his skin. His skin felt the finest vellum, yet was sleek enough to not take a mark.
He rocked on his back, swing up into me. His bare chest connected with mine, he bent and fell against me so softly it was like he was the sunlight. Delicate and emphermal, yet so warm and lasting.
There was a blinding innocents within him. A shining truth that outwieghted the darkness he has clung so tightly to.
"Anako... You were in my dream." He whispered into my ear, his words hissing slightly. "You looked so beautiful..." He said, his hands running up my spine, tugging at my shirt the whole way up.
I started to pry him off but he hugged tight to my shoulders, continueing to whisper in my ear.
"I seen another. He remained me of you. accept his hair was wreath of golden locks and stars." He knows of Lariel! "He wasn't like you though." He paused, nudging my jaw with his nose. "You're so much nicer." He praised, his fingers easily unwinding my hair wrap and trenching themselves into my ebony locks.
"Rhyns." I stated firmly, yanking him from me, which hurt considering he had my hair tied in knots around his fingers.
"Sorry!" He responded quickly, working fervently to untwist my hair.
I wrapped my hands around his, preventing him from continuing.
"Tell me more about your... dream." I requested, lokcing him with a transfixing stare.
He slowly nodded, my hair falling free of his fingers. He closed his hands and pressed them against his skinny legs.
he relayed the dream to me, moment by moment he remembered. His voice quivered and his whole body shook as he told it. I slid my cloak back up to his shoulders, binding him within it.
"That's all I can remeber." He said, nodding as he finished the tale.
I bent knees up, pressing them into my chest. This was disterbing. If Lariel was making his appearence... Was he coming to retrieve me, or was he simply messing with infinites as he's been known to do.
There is too little evidence, but it sounds as though he disapprove of Rhyns.
Rhyns hand closed around my shoulder, giving me a brief shake.
"Hey, you still here?" He asked playfully.
I nodded slowly, still sorting through the thousands of possibilities before me.
When it came to Lariel there was nothing certain about him.
