Silas shook his head. "You misunderstand, sheill. Or perhaps I should have spoken differently. I would never wish for our lives to go back to the constant violence of the Four Kingdoms, or having to constantly look over our shoulders while escorting the dragoness. But you have lived a decade and more letting your fear rule you, Kallista. I do not wish to walk beside a woman bathed in blood, only one who is not afraid to do so.<br/>"Fighting, killing, war...they are in my blood. I have been spilling blood in one way or another for so long, I imagine I would feel lost were I to stop." Silas smiled wistfully. "I do not wish that for you, and do not think my love for you has lessened this past decade. I love you more daily, and I will continue to do so until the Last Sleep claims me and beyond." The elf smiled widely as he quoted a poem he'd written for her a few years ago. Silas was not a poetic man, but the mood seemed to strike him quite frequently in regards to his wife, and though he was not necessarily proud of his poetry, it gave him happiness to see Kallista smile.<br/>He paused in his steps, and Kallista did the same, looking at him inquisitively. "I do not recall why we are tracking the White Wolf." He said, clearly amused.<br/><br/><br/>One of Thyme's arms found his girlfriend's middle, the other coming up to stroke her hair gently. "We should get you to bed, darling." He said softly, guiding them to their bedroom but keeping an arm around her protectively. There was something wrong with Brie, and he could smell it. What it was, there was no way for him to tell, but something was definitely off.<br/>It was no sooner that he got her settled in their bed than his phone rang. Annoyed, he picked up. "What?" he hissed.<br/>"Boss, Plum came with us." Thyme recognized the voice as the Hunt Team leader.<br/>"And?"<br/>The voice paused. "Plum. The one Ghost Marked. Came with us." The woman said, as though she were waiting for Thyme to get it.<br/>"Yeah, I heard you--oh. Shit." Thyme hung up, and turned to Brie. "Brie, could there be any danger in Plum being near Ghost during a Hunt?"
