Emberwood I never knew anybody 'til I knew you

"God, I love you."

The words, soft as the kiss he presses against her lips, find her unprepared to hear them. The healer freezes where she plays with him, her frame taut above his. Suddenly, she seems to recall what they mean and the fae is beaming, her tail thumping against the ground. For a moment, Liri thinks she might even feel tears building in her eyes so she hides against him in a fierce hug.

Once she's composed herself, the healer pulls away to catch his eye. "Asavakkit," she repeats with promise, so that he will know what it means.
