"I think I've got everything."
"Right..." she whispers, small forced smile, turns to face him slowly, hugging herself "Just... Please be careful, and come back." her voice cracks, grits her teeth

"Right... Just... Please be careful, and come back."
Zay stepped over, wrapping his arms around her and pulled her into a hug. "I promise I'll be back." He pulled back a little, hand resting on her cheek as he gave a small smile. "I'll be sure to send a bird when I can, if not once a week then once every two weeks. It'll be whenever time allows." He kissed her firmly, lingering a moment, then leaned back, thumb stroking her cheek. "I always come back."

"You better be..." she whispers, arms wrapping around him tightly, gaze wavering, kisses him back, eyes closing when he pulls back "Don't say always, you'll jinx it.."

"You better be... Don't say always, you'll jinx it.."
"Don't worry." He kissed her again and started towards the door. "I'll be back as soon as I can." He paused in the door, looking back at her with a smile. "I love you, Avery."

"Don't worry. I'll be back as soon as I can. I love you, Avery."
"I'm trying..." she murmurs, biting her lip when she hears him start to leave, stills, eyes widening at his words before her face falls "X'Zayvean.."

"X'Zayvean.."
His smiled became soft and he turned away, stepping outside and pulling his hood up. He took a breath and trained his gaze forward, determined to set out to do what he would've thought impossible in the past: actually stand up for something.

Hearing the door shut, she trembles a moment before she sinks down to the floor, one arm wrapped around her stomach, the other covering her mouth as she cries silently, eyes close "He's coming back for us... He is..." she whispers to the baby growing inside her, voice faltering with doubt

Few days later
Aru Sat at the table, turning the little figure of the birdman over in his hand. In the other, he bird in flight was held, and as he leaned against the wood, he moved them around a little as he quietly played with them, waiting for Avery. His light-colored shirt was growing a little small, so he had pushed the sleeves up to his elbows out of the way. |

"Aru." Avery calls, getting dressed in her room "Are you almost ready to go?" she asks, running a brush through her hair slowly

"Aru. Are you almost ready to go?"
"Yes'm!" He straightened and placed the two figures in the little pouch that Zay had left him, tying it onto his belt and trotted over to the door, pulling on his shoes.

"Yes'm!"
Smiling lightly, Avery stands, tying her cloak around her neck before she heads out into the main room, starts to pull on her boots, stiffening when she hears a knock at the door "Aru, can you recognize them?" she whispers, arm reaching behind her for the blade tucked under her shirt
Knocking lightly, she steps back and waits, hunched over a bit, hood covering the bottom portion of her face and just enough of the edges to hide most of her hair

"Aru, can you recognize them?"
The boy stiffened, still sitting on the ground from pulling his shoes on, feathers flattening against his head. Slowly and quietly he stood, edging to the window and peered out, golden eyes searching for any recognition of the figure at the door. His heart rose, seeing the dark cloak, thinking it was Zay, but it fell as he spotted the differences. He stepped back, light on his feet. "N-No. I don't know them," he whispered. "They're wearing a cloak, and I can't see anything." He hurried to Avery, slipping behind her and peering at the door, hands gripping her cloak.

"N-No. I don't know them. They're wearing a cloak, and I can't see anything."
"It's okay Aru." Avery murmurs, stepping towards the door "Just stay behind m-" voice cutting off when a thunk sounds in the wood, tenses, hand tightening on the knife, eyes turning cold "Go to my room, and lock the door behind you. Hide, and don't come out." she whispers, tone calm
When no one comes out she sighs silently, slipping a knife out of her sleeve, brings it up in a blur, embedding it in the door 3/4 of the way "I know you're in there." she states, pale irises flashing

"It's okay Aru. Just stay behind m-"
Aru started and sunk back behind her further, feathers flattening further and eyes wide.
"Go to my room, and lock the door behind you. Hide, and don't come out."
"B-But, Avery--"
"I know you're in there."
The boy flinched, stepping back, hands still gripping Avery's cloak, though a moment later he took off running towards the room, darting inside and closing the door, locking it.

"B-But, Avery--"
"I'll be fine, I promise. Go." Avery murmurs, turning her head slightly, hand still on the knife beneath her cloak at her back
"I know you're in there."
Lips pursing, she inhales slowly, steps towards the door, free hand reaching for the knob, fingers brush it before it flies open, gasps as she's pushed into the wall
Leaving the blade there, she waits till she hears footsteps, counts to five, pushes the door open at the sound of a creak, pushes the girl back, pale eyes finding hers, stills at the sight "You're blind." she states, head tilting as her hood falls
