Elizabeth waited for an answer to her question, but instead Aleksey had taken her face into his hands and drew her closer into a kiss. For once, she didn't care about all the people around them, hell, she couldn't have cared less. Passionately, she returned the kiss, putting her hands over his own while she did. And when the kiss was broken she opened his eyes only to look into the yellow orbs of whom she knew as the wolf, but this time it wasn't a bad sign, no longer threatening in any way. And a sigh slipped past her lips in that moment. He was alright. She was alright. Everything was alright.<br/><br/>As Aleksey looked away, her gaze fell to the woman whom was retrieving the knife, only to look to Aleksey again while he spoke. She didn't want to let him out of her sight again.. She was terrified as to what could've happened if she hadn't been able to stop it. What if she hadn't made it on time? Who knows what'd have happened if she'd just arrived.. It only made her relieved that she'd decided to hurry and catch up with Aleksey.<br/><br/>She couldn't help but tilt her head at the woman as she apologized for her apposed failure. In her eyes, there wasn't any failing. The wolf had been.. Tamed, in some way. But she didn't say anything, simply watched as she and the other witches made their way down the hill.<br/><br/>Elizabeth then looked to Aleksey again, taking his face into her hands this time as her thumbs caressed his cheeks gently in a soothing motion. She didn't need to ask again- From that kiss, it'd been evident that he was alright. "We can still spend new years together.." She cooed with a loving smile towards Aleksey, not getting up from the snow, though, as she didn't care where she was, as long as it was with him. "Did you want to get back? I'm sure it'll be warmer.." She would've been freezing, though she was leaving her magic, of sorts, just barely trickling like a faucet left on, and unnatural warmth stayed in her.
