“you’ve always been able only to think of the here and now.” a chuckle. how long has it been since he’s laughed? “i’ve always loved that about you. it was so easy to lose myself to you.”
just how long can he brood over things he can’t change? it’s time to move on. easier said than done. trying is a start. sigrun, his beloved mele, can appreciate the effort or not. it’s her choice.
“stay by my side, mele, and keep me alive. can you do that much?”

her grip unshakable, nails like claws digging in. he’s prevented from turning his back on her. heart spasming in his chest, stomach dropping to his feet. when was the last time he truly felt fear?
“i wanted you here, here when i needed you most.” naïve as she is, she is a fearsome creature. a sweet smile hides the potential for malevolence. it scarcely conceals the power behind those glassy eyes. it’s displayed in the flickering fire when she dances, in the grip that holds him. no girl her size could have such a grip. “time is different for human’s mele. one day i’ll be dead, and where will you be?”

thumb running lightly along the contours of her cheekbone, feeling the delicate structure beneath the silk soft skin.
“a lot has changed.” a deep breath, exhale. the moment is broken just like that. “sigrun. you can’t disappear for years an expect things to remain the same. that’s just naïve.”
he tears himself from her hold. dancing, how foolish. what a waste of time.

she knows. he’s said it once before, twice even. thirty years it’s been (maybe more, maybe less). how young was he when his dreams were smashed and the wonder he held for her slipped away?
“boy, that thing is a demon! you cannot love such a thing, and it will not love you.” so distant a memory, yet so hard to forget. “what use is a demon who only dances?” how many times did his master voice his disapproval, his hate. didn’t he too lash out at her, say: “you’re so naïve mele. what use are you if all you do is dance?”
“too long,” he breathes. his eyes glaze, tears that won’t shed. “i’ve missed you mele.”

not a word of reply can leave his lips when she snatches him up and pulls him into a swirl of dance. he treads carefully, mindful of her wildly moving feet. so easy to just fall into the motions. so easy yet painfully so.
"you haven't changed." he breathes. "in all these years, still so naive and freespirited."

rare did he take to the field. in youth, he stood shoulder to shoulder with his fellow but age caught up to him. many an injury from battle left him in worser and worser shape. behind a desk he now sat as his men fought for their lives. it never sat well with him.
the current operation weighed heavily on mind. should he send more troops, just in case?
bursting in is sergeant ciaran callaghan, one of his best. blood stains his clothes and lips, worse for wear. he stands quickly to support the man, by passing the desk with a nimble jump that leave joints aching.
"send reinforcements immediately!" he barks to the nearest ears, then turns back to ciaran. "let the medic have a look at you."

laced fingers like the twining of their lives together. how simple it’d be to dismiss her, let the other plane have her back. and yet, he could never part with her. she was bound, yet her chains only kept her on earth.
“you have my attention. what would you like to do with it?”

in the end she is artificial. the long lashes, big, round eyes and silk soft skin no more than a preferred illusion. smoke and fire was the truth. a destructive force beneath human guise. how easy to forget when her voice is soft and airy, even then it’s cold.
“why are you still here? why did you come back?”

“you’re a flighty thing.” fingertip brush cheeks softer than velvet, smooth like silk. “you say your back, but for how long? you were never mine.”
he shakes free his hand. the pen rolls across the desk. chair legs groan against the polish hardwood.
“what did you expect when you came back after thirty years?”

he looks at her now, level with her iridescent eyes. still as beautiful as ever, still as unreachable.
“i did once.” he admits. her hand, so small and warm, rests on his, fingers curled over his pen. “you never came when i called, no matter how much i called. eventually, i stopped calling. i’ve long since given up on you.”

surely his coldness strikes her harder than any hit. there’s longing behind her fading smile, one for how things once were. can time rewind? the years have worn him down, eroded that bright eyed boy into a mere figment of his old self.
“plenty.” his scratching pen pauses mid-stroke. “are you lonely?”

“you’re still here?” he remarks offhandedly. “I thought you would have wondered off already.”
her smile entices memories of the past—swirling flower blossoms, a wild dance to a beat that goes against the music playing, of longing for her return. why now?
leo strides past her to take up his place at the desk piled with papers.

time is in constant flow. for no one does it wait, no earthly inhabitant. she returned untouched, unchanged.
she buzzed in his thoughts since, reminding him of his youth. of thing he thought better to forget. he anticipates her presence when he opens the front door, knows exactly where he'll find her.
"sigrun."
