Black Stone listened to her words. Hearing more than her words, but the feelings behind them. he was unsure what to do. He had never been good with emotions, he had long ago learned to hide his deep inside. he knew now though, how lonely she had truely been. his Spirit Woman had given up on life. Given up on the world she served and lived in.<br/>He endured her hug, standing still and letting her take what she could from his prescence. it was all he could do, all he could offer the woman. But he knew that now that he had found her he would not leave again. She needed him just as the world needed the sun. he would be her companion and provide for her what he could to keep her and himself happy and safe. he knew the mother would in time reveal her plan, but until then it was on his shoulders to care for his woman.<br/><br/>"Azura, I have missed you as well. And now that I am here I wont leave again. But come, we musent soak too long or we will turn to grapes. let us go dry ourselves then go eat. Afterwards we can share tales of our time apart." He had hoped to get her to be happier or at least to cheer her a little. he only hoped he could help her recover and become healthy once more. For she was in very poor condition. He was afraid of how frail she appeared to his  own bulk.
