He offered her a gentle smile when she admitted not realizing he had woken. My love, do you think after so long apart I wouldn’t relish every time I awoke to see you? Every time I will know joy because you woke me. Few could make such declarations with the confident that Vidarr did, which extended past his typical confidence. He knew the relief was etched deep into his heart. There was no way he wouldn’t feel that sort of joy. Surely a day would also come when it wasn’t the sole emotion he felt in the moment, but that too would be a type of healing. It would mean that Vidarr no longer feared waking up from the dream to find reality instead.

Without the threat of an enemy that Vidarr could simply cut down, it forced him into other avenues of action. He would slay enemies, vanquish foes with a precision, he would even lay down his own life to save Dawnbreak. Still this was easier said than done when the threat consisted of Mythris herself and lie deeply rooted in her past. Unfortunately, that strange force that pulled them into this universe had not been without a cost even greater than the loss of all their bonds. Instead it craved more still. It demanded action. It might be the reason for all of this - of us being brought here. Vidarr reasoned.

If he had the body for it he would have wrapped his arms around her tight. Instead he only reached out to gently touch his snout to her temple. You are supposed to be as you are. My Hildeguarde. He traced the marking almost with his tongue the kiss was so gentle before he pulled back. You are allowed to want peace, even now - even… He trailed off for a moment before clearing his throat thickly. Even while we miss Thyra. Even while we miss our home. Even while this world shatters. We can desire peace, and, we can have it.

After so long apart it was too hard to spend any amount of time outside of her company. Vidarr leaned into her touch, tactile as a cat almost as they were shoulder to shoulder. He pressed into her touch, letting out a rattled sigh still thick with the emotion that came when mentioning Thyra. He felt guilt for being happy with Hilde without A Thyra as well. It seemed so wrong having only the two of them. He could not stamp out the joy in his heart at having either of them back, though. You're right. If we are guided to search for these tunes, surely we will also be guided how to use them.
