You're so cold
but you feel alive
If it hadn't been a task set by a god, she would have been far more vocal in her protests. But would she not do the same if Ludo set her a task? So in the end, she let his assurance that he would try to convince it first settle some of the unease, and just hugged him tighter.
"Please be careful. If you don't come back... I'll have to go look for you." Half promise, half threat, she didn't know what might be more efficient. Not for the first time she raged against being abandoned, against not being attuned so she could come with him. As if she somehow could keep him more safe than anyone else.
"Have you thought of what else to bring?" she wondered, leaning her chin against the top of his head as he kept nuzzling her neck. Her chest tightened at the feel of his breath against her skin, so warm and real... it was a sweet pain, so strong and brought on so fiercely that she had to breathe to contain it. Smiling, despite it all. Her mind was already working on solving the riddle, but wanted to hear his thoughts first.
