Colin glanced at Kell worriedly.  He knew better then to try and talk to him in his condition.  He looked back at sweetie.  He chuckle, shook his head, and pulled her close, kissing her gently before pulling back.  "I keep my promises," He whispered to her.  When he had left for the ether world some time ago in the past, he had promised her he would return.  He always kept his promises, especially to her.  Boy did he have a story to tell her though.  In the ether world he learned that Nyx, even though she would not give him the greatest of gifts, that didn't stop her from helping him.
