"Alright, I would also like a coffin for Roku.." *They had plenty of gold for it after all. As a blistering breeze swept by, she held him a little tighter.* "While I agree that boiling heat is crippling, freezing cold isn't exactly preferred.." *She just wanted a healthy middle, like a warm spring. The sun she had gotten to experience at the inn had spoiled her just a little bit. For that matter, she should inspect the carriage for damages to see if anything meeded to be replaced like wheels or bolts. They had traveled quite far since the very first city they met in.*

"Is there anywhere you have always wanted to see?" *She spoke of floating islands and flying whales, dragons and forest spirits. She spoke of rolling hills of flowers and tall grass that looked like waves.* "I want to go there.." *She gave a bit of a shiver before scooting a smidge closer to the flames.*
Robert
*Spoke once more raising his hand with a wince as he tried to cast his blood magic to cast a torrent of flames to make the fire brighter more warm but his veins turned black and nothing came back he winces stopping just as fast as he tried. This... This can't.. Be... No... It's impossible... Why can't he use... He felt his heart sank to his stomach as his happy face slowly faded... He tried again but this time met with stronger force of pain and he closed his eyes wincing nothing... No power no flame if his heart could sink further it would his face turned mortified for a few moments before he fell silent holding ai and looking down he understood it was slowly setting in as more time passes actions have consequences... He forsake this flame oath in return he was stripped of all magic... At least he had ai... He let out an exhale of pure emotional pain he held her a little tighter all he needed was her all he had now was her and the group...*
Marlene
*The kisses placed against her neck made her squirm and fidget around a bit. Occasionally a little gasp or squeak would come out of it that would interupt her sentences. Her infatuation was soon replaced with wonder... Looking out at the snowfall she imagined all of the things he described, except the sea. She had never seen the ocean so her perception of it was rather abstract.* "Library of knowledge... I want to go there!" *Oddly enough, she cared not for gems of youth for she was imortal... Nor for promises of power for she already struggled with her own ability, no need for more.* "Turn to ash... Like us?" *Her kind turned to ash and faded away should they remain in sunlight.*

"Love?" *She sat up a little straighter and looked from his hand, to him in slight confusion.* "Alright could you perhaps **Stop**?" *Seriously. Roku just fixed him... So disrespectful. As he pulled her closer she noticed that he smelled... Delicious. That meant despair.* "My love... What is going on?? Are you in danger?? You're scaring me.."
Robert
*Would look up slowly from looking down to face her he was happy she wanted to see those things he wanted to see those things with her taking a soft breath again* `"Yes to ash... Like if you was in the sunlight I want to visit the sky islands and the lost civilization under the sea find out about the ancient gods."` *He would say quietly slightly under his breath as she said love he looked at her she could see his face was neutral but he knew that she could sense his emotions. As she said to stop he stopped trying he wouldn't try anymore as he now understood everything* `"It's ok I'm ok... I just... I can't use my powers anymore... I've fallen from grace..."` *He would say closing his eyes once more* `"Its ok though I'll be happy I am happy with you here it was worth everything it cost nothing can compare to having you by my side."` 

*He would say truthfully was forsaking the flame worth love alone...? Forsaking the flame for ai was worth it nothing compared to having her with him he would smile through his despair towards her as he slowly placed his head on her shoulder* `"How am I supposed to protect you now... I can't use any magic... You can heal yourself nearly any wound and put people to sleep. Now I'm just normal... I can't heal quickly and now I can't fight... I want to protect you but how can I do that without magic? This world is built on magic."` *He would say softly not wanting to let go of her*
Marlene
"What is wrong with the power you have? Just because it is not the quantity you desire, does not mean that it is not useful.." *She would position herself to straddle him, her dress flowering around his legs like a blanket.* "We've managed this far.." *He had been out of commission for weeks now and they had done pretty alright. She had Ysildea, and Roku... But as her lover she understood the want to protect that of which was precious to him.* "Normal is... A bit of a stretch love-" *She couldn't help but smile and shake her head at that one.* "And you can fight just the same. Because you lose your flame affiliation doesn't mean you lose the memory of all of your training as well..." *She was trying her best to be empathetic but- he was painting it grimer than it seemed.* 

"Be thankful that you actually aren't completely human. No affinity to *Anything.* It is ok to want more, but don't get caught up in it.." *She'd cup his cheeks in her hands and place a tender and soft kiss against his lips. They'd manage just fine... She had hope.*
Robert
`"Thats.. Just..."` *He didn't have any power now only strength and skill to his disposal if he had only strength and skill he would have died the first battle he had in the dungeon. There was no quantity there was nothing! Maybe he was over thinking it all he felt her dress cover his legs like a blanket and she said they have been fine up to this point without his abilities... Feeling her straddle him brought him comfort, in her arms as she said his words were a bit of stretch he didn't know how to feel yes he could fight with all his sword arts but without any magic... And would lose any other ability with his flame he was about to go into overthinking once more but listened to his lovers words maybe she was right he was thinking about it to deep. Not only that this was much different then they first met when they first met she was cold as ice to him he smiles weakly happy.*

*He would feel her tender gentle kiss against his soft pink ones and would close his eyes and leaned in before speaking it was kind of funny, loving and bonding moment for him he laughed weakly and quietly as he slowly rested his head against her soft hands with his cheek before speaking* ``"At least im not completely human your right. It's kind of funny to me just a little bit when we first met you was so cold to me who would of thought you would have become my wife."` *He gently kissed her lips softly to return her gentle kiss with one of his own. A deep soft kiss as he wrapped his arms around her waist softly his hands gently rubbing on her body holding her close*
