[ The Herald and his trusted pixie - well, faerie - were at home, like usual. Urianger having set up a small faerie bed on the desk next to his bed, looking to him with a soft smile. His gaze was a little confused, though. ]

My dearest Thancred. I've... did I fall asleep?

Comments

[wordsinthesoul]

[It's comfortable, and a perfect place for them. Though… that look has Thancred concerned. He flutters over to Urianger, reaching out to touch him.]

Not quite… but perhaps you'd like to sit for a moment?

[aetherialslumber]

[ Urianger leans forward a little, in his affectionate way. ] 'twould begin to wake me, I suppose...

[wordsinthesoul]

[He moves to bump his forehead against Urianger's, hands reaching out.]. Or if you desired to rest- I know you've been through much of late. Or- I could tease you, of course.

[aetherialslumber]

[ Oh? A spark appears in his eyes. ] A tease, you say~? I'd like a distraction, at least.

[wordsinthesoul]

Well. I can certain provide that. [He gives Urianger's forehead a little kiss, trying to warm the spot, and send a few harmless sparks flying.]

[aetherialslumber]

[ Urianger had a little cheeky smile, however, as Thancred kissed him... and suddenly, he seemed to vanish!

...He was hidden inside his robes, a lot smaller. But ssh. ]

[wordsinthesoul]

[He does let out a sound of shock- looking about first.]. Urianger? Ah, it was supposed to be the other way around…!

[But, hm. This means Urianger wants Thancred to look for him, right? So he should do that- and if his robes are still here, then that's the sensible place to look, right?]. Are you here?

[aetherialslumber]

[ He is giggling, in that faerie way, but not replying. But there was a blue glow from within the robes...! ]

[wordsinthesoul]

Oho~? Does my eye see something hid therein?

[He swoops down to investigate, setting the robes aside with care.]

[aetherialslumber]

[ And there is the sparkling blue faerie, still chuckling. ] Did I trick you~?

[wordsinthesoul]

You did indeed! I hardly expected that- but ah, look at you! [He swoops a little, reaching out to embrace Urianger.]. It's much easier to hug you when we're of a size.

[aetherialslumber]

Were you ever my larger size? [ Urianger asked, as he began to snuggle into the other. ]

[wordsinthesoul]

…well, not quite. But much closer- though this is perfect. [He snuggles back, nuzzling into the crook of Urianger's neck. He wraps his arms around Urianger, wings flittering happily.]

[aetherialslumber]

[ Uriangers' own wings curled around himself, as he blushed and smiled. ] You're good like this. You're... always good, Thancred. My closest advisor...

[wordsinthesoul]

Oh? I'm glad of that, Urianger. [He makes a soft sound, curling around Urianger.]. I'll always be here for you.

[aetherialslumber]

[ He knows this isn't his Thancred. But he has never wished to pry. He truly desires this one, this one he loves. Who he'd tell anything...

...oh. ] ...can I speak of serious matters, if only for a little?

[wordsinthesoul]

[In a place, where there can be more than one of them… it is strange. But all the same- he wouldn't give Urianger up, not for anything.

He stills a little at that, moving enough to be able to see Urianger.]

Of course. If I can help at all, I will.

[aetherialslumber]

[ Urianger sighed a little, giving a soft frown. It still hurt to admit, but: ] ...As you know, I am naught more then a soul without a body.

It's... finally beginning to wear me down, Thancred.

[wordsinthesoul]

[He listens closely, still holding Urianger, if loosely.]

...your body is an intrinsic part of you. To be so exposed...

Perhaps if we made you an anchor of sorts it might help.

[aetherialslumber]

[ He shuddered a little. ]

...I cannot be anchored to the Courts. [ He then admits to Thancred, quietly. ] Else I may lose my connection to the Source.

[wordsinthesoul]

Then that’s not an option . [He reaches up to stroke Urianger’s hair.]. What if... we asked one of the others for something of the Source? Something you love?

[aetherialslumber]

[ He thought, for a moment, before sighing. ] I... everything I love is here. I barely remember the Source. My body is still there, but...

[wordsinthesoul]

Urianger… [He sounds sad, and soft- moving to give Urianger a little kiss.] Would it be better to bring your body to your soul, then?

[aetherialslumber]

...that would kill my body. I had proposed it to the Exarch before. [ But he tried to hide his own sorrow. Would that there was something to anchor him to. But he had given up his tempering.

...his soul was free. ]

[wordsinthesoul]

…damn. Well. We can't have that. [He won't have it, certainly. He keeps touching Urianger, frowning.]. What if I went to find something? I'll not see you lost.
