X'zayvean turned his attention back to the Cleric as she says quietly, "The shadows seeped too deep into the blade before we could save it." She stepped over and held the small wrapped object out to him. "However, thanks to your ice, we were able to save the heart of the sword, the pummel."
He took the wrap and laid in beside him, though he didn't say anything for a while. "Who are you?"
"Only a friend." His gaze snapped to her again, sharp, and it coaxed a response. "Your father's friend."
"How do you know my father?"
She paused a long moment. "We met several years after your mother's passing."

"The shadows seeped too deep into the blade before we could save it. However, thanks to your ice, we were able to save the heart of the sword, the pummel."
"Who are you?"
"Only a friend. Your father's friend."
"How do you know my father?"
"We met several years after your mother's passing."
At the sound of voices, Avery starts to stir with a small groan, muscles aching, fighting to go back to sleep but failing "Zay..." she murmurs, eyes closed

"Where is--" he stops short as Avery stirs.
"Zay..."
He looks at her, and the Cleric speaks again, though her voice holds an odd tone. "In time. Just insure that you don't fall to the shadows again, X'zayvean." She turns and starts towards the exit. "I cannot guarantee that you'll be as easy to bring back." Zay's gaze finds her back, chilly and dangerous, and the cleric laughs in melancholy. "Just like your father."
His jaw ticks as she vanishes, his gaze remaining where the flap sways closed.

Eyes cracking open, Avery tries to make some sense of the piece of the conversation she just heard before she gives up, too drowsy to think "Was that the cleric?.."

"Was that the cleric?.."
"Yeah," he murmurs after a few heartbeats, then looks at Avery. "It was her."

"Yeah, It was her."
"What did she say about Rizuin?..." Avery asks quietly, remains laying down with her head on his lap, only halfway remembering there's a child growing inside her and she needs to take it easy

"What did she say about Rizuin?..."
He reaches and grasps her hand gently, giving it a squeeze. "They couldn't rid him of the shadows to save the blade," he starts, grabbing the object at his side and placing it in her hand. "However, they were able to save the heart of the blade." His voice is low and gentle, the exhaustion weighing in, though he refuses to sleep.

"They couldn't rid him of the shadows to save the blade. However, they were able to save the heart of the blade."
"They couldn't rid him of the shadows... However, they... echoes in her head again and again, looks down at the cloth with wide eyes, holds it for less than a minute before her hands start shaking, drops the parcel, ears starting to ring

Zay catches it with a swift movement, eyes training themselves on Avery. "Av?" he murmurs after a moment, brow creasing deeply.

"Av?"
"It can't be..." Avery whispers, eyes wavering "You... Tell me it's not true..." voice breaking, she slowly looks at him, gaze going hollow as she starts to shut down, refusing to believe it

"It can't be..." Avery whispers, eyes wavering "You... Tell me it's not true..."
"I refuse to lie to you," he says quietly. "I can't tell you it's false." His eyes move to the parcel in his hand. "He isn't completely gone."

"I refuse to lie to you. I can't tell you it's false. He isn't completely gone."
Eyes flicking to the parcel in his hand, she studies it dully before her face flickers with emotion, tears spilling over as she turns, burying her face in his shirt silently, unable to even look to see what's left right now

His gaze softens and he wraps an arm around her, sliding the last of Rizuin under his makeshift pillow, intending to hold on to it until she is ready, and then he wraps his other arm around her and holds her close.

"I'm sorry..." Avery whispers, reason sparking in her brain, looks up at him, dark eyes clouded with pain, wiping at her tears slower then they appear "Sleep... I'll watch after Aru, I know you need it.."

"I'm sorry... Sleep... I'll watch after Aru, I know you need it.."
His eyes close, but he shakes his head. "I'm not ready to sleep yet," he murmurs. His mind is still too chaotic to try to sleep.
