"You can't stay the same as you are, as you have been. You have to change. Either yourself, or what happens around you, how you think. And... And if it takes leaving me to do that, and finding someone else to thaw your heart, then do it."
Zay muscles coiled, but he didn't move, knuckles white as he kept his breathing short and as even and silent as he could, eyes staring blankly towards the ground between his boots. Enzo, sensing his master's distress, glided out of the cabin and land nearby as he let out a low warble and watched him. When he didn't move, the bird glided and landed on his shoulder, something it only did when it knew he needed a pull back to the present. But the claws did nothing. Enzo ruffled his wings in protest, taking off to the air and landing in the trees again.
Inside, Zay toiled with himself, memories of staying returning, the warmth the love the happiness, then the feeling of fear and loss. Inside, he was afraid of losing another chance, but just as afraid to let it go.

Hearing nothing, her gaze wavers before she turns and walks back towards the house, grunting when she runs into him, sways, trying to keep her balance. Once she has it, she pauses, hands outstretched, shifts, one coming to rest on his shoulder, or at least on what she thinks it is

Feeling her bump into him, Zay's hand reach out and catch her by the waist, stabilizing her as her hand came to rest on his shoulder. His gaze wavered as he stared into space before it cleared and focused, jaw working again. The hands on her sides tensed slightly and he bowed his head quietly. "I'm sorry," he whispered, voice cracking a little. "I'm so sorry." He bit his lip, eyes closed tightly, not letting go.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Feeling hands grab her, she goes still, gaze seemed to be trained straight ahead even though she can't, hand squeezing his shoulder gently "Don't fret, X'zayvean." she murmurs quietly, stray tear hitting his face before she can catch it "You have nothing to be sorry for."

"Don't fret, X'zayvean. You have nothing to be sorry for."
His face twitched as he felt the water, and slowly he looked up, standing slowly as he hand came to her cheeks, wiping them with his thumbs. "I have every reason to be sorry. I've hurt you, remained a stubborn old dragon, when all you've done is helped me."

"I have every reason to be sorry. I've hurt you, remained a stubborn old dragon, when all you've done is helped me."
Tensing a moment, she inhales shakily, leaning her head into his hand gently, shaking it "You don't. And you didn't, you saved me. You, and your companion." she whispers, barely audible, blinking "I didn't help you much."

"You don't. And you didn't, you saved me. You, and your companion. I didn't help you much."
"You've done more than you know," he murmured, searching her face. "You tended my wounds, helped me see what I couldn't before." He paused, a thin smile touching his lips. "A stabbed me enough to show me what a fool I am."

"You've done more than you know.. You tended my wounds, helped me see what I couldn't before. And stabbed me enough to show me what a fool I am."
"That was nothing." Avery murmurs, eyes closing as she slides her hands over his, flinching at his words "I didn't want to hurt you, but it was better that then watch you-" her voice breaks off "I mean... It just wasn't you." she states, correcting her word choice

"That was nothing. I didn't want to hurt you, but it was better that then watch you- I mean... It just wasn't you."
Zay studied her a moment, breath shuddering in his chest as he kissed her forehead gently, eyes closing. "I don't know what's me anymore," he admitted, pulling back and taking her hand in his, intertwining his fingers with hers. "The apologies are mine to give and mine only." He paused, looking down and gave a heavy sigh. "You need to be resting. Not up and moving around."

"I don't know what's me anymore. The apologies are mine to give and mine only. You need to be resting. Not up and moving around."
"You'll find yourself." she murmurs, small smile at the kiss, squeezes his hand gently, small frown at his next words "No. Zay. It's fine, really. I could be saying the same to you. When's the last time you slept?"

"You'll find yourself. No. Zay. It's fine, really. I could be saying the same to you. When's the last time you slept?"
Zay gave a the smallest sheepish smile. "Excluding this morning, which wasn't long, yesterday morning. You had me too worried to actually sleep."

"Excluding this morning, which wasn't long, yesterday morning. You had me too worried to actually sleep."
"Well, I am perfectly alright, and you need to rest." She murmurs, fingers gently brushing his skin as she feels around for his face, moving her arm up, stills when the tips brush his jaw

"Well, I am perfectly alright, and you need to rest."
He closed his eyes as her fingers moved and felt them stop at his jaw. His scruff was little, but it was enough to notice, and he opened his eyes again to look at her. "What if I wake and it was all a dream?" he murmured, eyes brightening a little despite the shadows under them.

"What if I wake and it was all a dream?"
Frowning lightly at the roughness, Avery purses her lips but doesn't point it out, eyes softening at the question "Then I suppose it will be a relief that I can actually see still." she murmurs, keeping quiet that if it were a dream, they may not have actually met, she could have been a part of his imagination

"Then I suppose it will be a relief that I can actually see still."
Softly his jaw moved in thought, looking down. After several moments be pulled back a little. "Let's get you back in to rest." Zay gently took her hand and led her back inside. "The last thing I want if you gaining a fever. Going through that was not enjoyable."
