Her weary eyes stare fixedly at his face, which slowly regains some colour. His breathing appears easier, but the eyes remain closed. She places the back of her right palm against his forehead, then his neck... ~
Heavens, why is he both warm and cold to the touch?! ~
Hands trembling, she extracts Larry's girdle of frost giant strength and puts it on herself. Sensing the intrusive stares of the passers-by, her eyes flash with anger ~
"Mind your own business!" ~ As a surge of powerful energy flows into her veins, she lifts Larry without difficulty and carries him into the Five Flagons tavern. Ignoring Deiter and Spree's surprised glances, she yells ~
"Get him a good room! And fast!" ~
Within moments, Larry is resting in a royal-classed room while she watches him, her eyes blinking rapidly. She removes the girdle and fastens it around his waist once more. Impulsively, she sprawls herself against his chest. Breathing deeply, she closes her eyes and savours their proximity without his awareness. Her lips part and she whispers softly to him. ~
"Forgive me, Larry... forgive one who gropes blindly in the dark. I've never known what it is to love, and I still don't..." ~ her voice breaks ~
"But I never intended for this to happen... ever..." ~ A sob escapes her ~
"Whatever it is I'm feeling, it's tearing my heart so... to see you...like this..." ~ She wipes her eyes with her sleeves hurriedly and kneels beside the bed ~
"Sleep all you want, Larry, but promise me... you'll... wake... up..." ~
Her head droops, and finally collapses beside his.
