Amongst rogues and thieves, daylight and dreams, stood a girlclothed in robes of the simplest kind. Blonde curls running amuck across herfreckled face, she was all he could see. Despite the throngs of people, the pilingwork of the ‘to-do’ variety, and the unwavering tasks before him, he always hadtime for her. “It won’t be long now,” he murmured thoughtfully, long andprecise fingers tucking a robust coil around another so that he could see her illustriouseyes. When it rebounded in pure rebellion, he laughed softly. “I’ll be leavingfor Dalaran soon and I still am pining to know if you will join me.” A chosenone was she, but in the end, what he asked was of a heavy weight. To leave herlife, her home in Quel’Thalas, and her family behind was no small thing. Intruth, he worried that the space between would allow her the time to forgethim, or the burden of room for another.

“I’m sorry,” he admitted with a soft whistle, him trying tohumble himself foolishly. “I know I shouldn’t press you for an answer and thatyou’ll give it when you’re ready. Patience, my dear, will be my downfall.” A kisslingered against her forehead before he took her hand into his. “Have you atleast been thinking about it?”

      her hand in his and her presence on his shoulder was enough to bring a flush of WARMTH to his heart. there was a kind of peace in Nylira that the world needed more of, if the engineer was entirely honest; a simple look in his direction was enough to RELIEVE Romuul of his qualms. His cheek came to rest against the top of her horned head, eyes closed for just a moment.

      “ as am i, ” Romuul huffed out a tiny sigh, his tail flicking lazily at his back. “ we will sleep as rocks do tonight, ekliein. not even the shaking of the WORLD could wake us before noon. ” it was a jest, of course, but this war had tired their souls in such a way that Romuul would not be surprised if they did sleep forever. tired as Romuul may have been, he did not want that. every moment at Nylira’s side was one to be witnessed and CHERISHED for all that it was worth.
