Sylvia groaned and coughed a little, her chest hurting a bit. She smiled and shook her head through her pain and stood up slowly with her help. "No.. it's okay.. it's amazing, though.."
The girl shook her head, "it's just a bunch of metal and wood. Your skills are... like a gift from God." She sighed, holding Sylvia and helping her catch her breath.
"Yeah, but it takes a lot of practice and training to get good with your accendo.. most kids are rarely allowed to use their powers because it could get dangerous.." Sylvia nodded. "Most Nomeni are the same, though.. fire, water, lightning, ice.." She looked at the crossbow. "That doesn't take a lot to make and probably not long to train in its use.. the Sancti are gifted, too."
She rolled her eyes, "at being taken down by two unsuspecting women, apparently. There were four of us and I was the only one that escaped... and that was only because you were merciful. We're hardly gifted, Sylvia."
Sylvia couldn't help but smirk, but she shook her head. "We got lucky.. and we're on a mission, Eri. We can't lose now.." She frowned a bit, realizing she'd already lost Etna. She sighed and patted her friend on the shoulder. "At any rate.. we can't fail now."
The girl yawned as her mouth opened wide for a yawn. She sighed softly, wiping her eyes and speaking, "you should go sleep... I've got barely enough energy to keep watch through the night."
"Abeo can keep watch, Eri. Get some sleep." She nodded and smiled, kissing her cheek a little and moving over to Abeo's tent, opening it and peeking inside as she crawled in. "Hmm.. first good meal I've had in a week or more.."
"Wouldn't know" weakly smirked Abeo, showing a glint of her former self but clearly not in a joking mood. "I thought I heard you coughing out there... are you feeling alright?"
Sylvia nodded, smiling and laying on her stomach as she pulled off her cloak, revealing her rather immodest outfit, covered only by a sheen nightie. "I'm fine.. Eri's crossbow had a strong kickback." She grinned.
Sylvia nodded. "Yep.. I told her it was amazing, but she's more intrigued by accendo." She smirked and laid on her stomach, looking at her, her legs up. She bit her lip, looking concerned. "How are you doing, sweetie...?" She knew Abeo was still having trouble.
"Don't ask" she quickly replied, shaking her head, "I don't want to think about anything right now." She looked up at Sylvia with her eyes welling, "just... just talk to me and please don't stop."
Sylvia sat up a little and moved to her, putting her arms around her and hugging her close. "Shhh.. relax, sweetie.. I'm here." She held her close and smiled. "When I first saw you.. I thought you were some demon or something and you wanted to kill us.. then you turned into that crazy old man.." She giggled.
"Technically the first time you saw me, I was a snake" she smiled, nuzzling against the adjunct, "but I always try to look a lot more tough than I really am." Abeo smiled weakly, "maybe this isn't even my true form."
Sylvia shook her head. "You are tough, Abeo.. in any form.. a lesser person would've died trying to live that long with what you've gone through.." She looked at her and smiled. "And if you are happiest, and most comfortable in that form.. then it's your true form. It's the form Etna fell in love with."
As soon as her name rolled out of her mouth, Abeo winced. "No matter what form I shifted to, I could only dream of being as breathtaking as her." She bit her lip hard, leaving an impression that would have made any other human bleed, "I... she..."
Sylvia smiled and hugged her tightly. "I know, Abeo.. I love her too.. but no creature on Disegreth could love her as much as you do.. not even Moroy and I..." She held onto her, letting her get it out.
The shapeshifter was trembling and Sylvia could tell that she was using every ounce of her willpower to fight back tears. Her voice faltered as she tried to speak, "you should rest... I'm s-sorry."
Abeo curled tighter against Sylvia, paying no heed to the outfit that Etna had tossed at her this morning. "To be honest, I was always a little jealous of you..."
Sylvia laid with her in the silence, caressing Abeo's back slowly, lovingly. She looked at her and arched a brow. "Really..? I was envious of you.. finally finding your soul mate.. and being with her for all this time.."
"But for the longest time, I thought she loved you more" she sniffled, laughing slightly, "but then I realized that it was a different kind of love and now I know I couldn't do without it." The shapeshifter giggled between sobs, "and now I know that she loved me the way she did because you provided an amazing example for her."
Sylvia smiled and blushed a little. Etna looked up to her and wanted to love Abeo like she loved Moroy. Looking at Abeo, she sniffed back a few tears and hugged her. "She does love you.. she was so scared to even admit she could love someone like you.. Moroy knew.. but it was only when I asked her.. and told her it was okay.. that she felt okay with it.."
"Enough..." whimpered Abeo, "if we talk about her any more, I'm going to break down and might never recover." She sighed, choking back a plethora of emotions, "tell me about what you're going to do when we reunite with Moroy..."
Sylvia hugged her again, and then sighed, laying on her back. "I don't know.. Death showed me what conditions he was in.. he wasn't eating.. he wasn't sleeping.. he was just.. laying in a cave.. barely holding on.. he made a painting of me before we left Nomeni. It's all that is keeping him alive." She sighed.
"I know I want to just.. hold him.. and love him.. nothing else matters. But first.. I might need your help in holding him down so I can help him.. I have to inject the Eveltie and Etna's blood into his bone marrow... At least, I think.."
