never to meet again

OLIVER

Within the eye, mysteries of the soul burn deeply beneath the fiery chasms of love

and patiently wait for an awakening

Watching as Loren bent down to pet his companion, Oliver sucked in a breath. Fuck was this hard. It was so serious too- and the man seemed so happy, as did Astra. "I wanted to give you something... and to say goodbye." Wow, way to be dramatic Oliver.

Instead of really waiting for too long, Oliver continued to speak. He knew that he would need to get it out quickly as waiting too long would only make him cry or some stupid emotional shit like that. Rip it off and it'll be done. "I don't know what I'm doing yet for LongNight... but part of me still thinks I have to guard. I have to stay here... but I don't think I'm going to make it. I keep having these ideas and nightmares and I guess... I just wanted to give you a proper goodbye, just in case this is the last time I ever see you." And to, of course, give Loren the box.
