Noah
if there's a reason I'm still alive
when so many have died
when so many have died
”I am.” Noah said, a sadness shifting over his eyes. The warmth he brought forward for the girl was still there, in th corners of his mouth and in the softness of his body, but still the veil of grief was present. ”I am sorry I was gone so long.” It had taken longer for the demigod to find and destroy the dragon than he had anticipated — and part of that were the weeks he was passed out on the tundra, alive when any other man would have been dead alongside their bride.
Noah let his eyes shift from Venna to the alpina, and his head tilted. He held back the comment he really wanted to make — which was that he hoped she didn’t spend too much on this thing — and chewed on the inside of his cheek for a second. ”He looks like he could use a good bath.” He said instead. ”And this.” He added, then around them his magic ignited. Bright and brilliant, the dome did not expand in its full power, but just enough to cover the three of them. Whatever the alpina felt before would be brought back to vigor and health, and if there was any weariness within the young abandoned it would melt away with a tingling warmth.

then I'm willing to
wait for it
