[She curls into him, settling for wrapping her arms around him and making herself comfortable. He's warm and safe. Everything she'd been missing. If she places her hand upon his chest she'll know his heart is beating alive and well. Every thrum a reminder that they're both okay.
What a long and perilous journey and, technically, not over. The Star Guardians still have a lot of work to do. There is evil to defeat and fate to overturn. But until those big battles happen she'll be more than content in Rakan's arms. They're overdue for some one on one time anyway...]
You know... I had one of your feathers... I held on to it because it was the only piece of you I had. And then one day... The wind just snatched it out of my hand. I tried to chase after it but it was gone and I felt so stupid. It just felt like it was a sign and I just... could not stop crying about it. [She puffs up her cheeks a bit.] I was pretty uncool while you were gone.
[Critically uncool almost all of the time.]
I was such a mess without you... [It may not seem like it with how she formed a team and managed to train them up and succeed in getting him back. But internally she'd never been in such turmoil. It was different from the hellbent revenge. It was a longing so painful and powerful it felt like it was going to consume her. She couldn't even hear the girls talk about perfect romance comics without attributing it to him and crying into her pillow that he might be gone forever.] So... now you know. You better stay by my side or I'm at risk of you know... being uncool and crying all the time.
[It's not coming out quite right but she's telling him all this so he knows how important he is to her. How much he means to her and always has. And always will! She is constantly moving forward and charging ahead and rarely glances back but that's only because she knows he's right behind. He's always with her. But perhaps she should glance his way now and then. Reconfirm that they're still together because without him here... She felt utterly flightless. Painfully earthbound without him.]
You just keep being you Rakan... [She squeezes him tight in her arms.] With or without patience... I'll meet you halfway in the future.
