another eternity

AMALIA

She cannot help but crack a grin: he is ridiculous, far below and looking up, his skinny form and wild hair perfectly disheveled by poor upkeep. Of course she will not leave him behind - but it is fun to tease him while she waits, wondering if Delah or another Fae will come to lift him from the pit.

Turning to Jyoti, Amalia pretends to confer with the whale before turning back to the captives. "We have decided that Coffee is welcome to come along." Amalia extends an arm to the dragon, should it choose to rise up and join her outside the pit, while the calf trills her agreement and swims a circle around the lip. "You, however, are already in my debt. Sure you want to owe me more, Adam the Thief?"

You are flesh and blood
And you deserve to be loved
and you deserve what you are given
And oh, how much
