Visiting Hours

"For a time. But I'll be back soon. You'll miss me more than I you."

Rose blinks several time. "W-wait, what?"

Arcadia puts her head against her mother's, "you'll find my abscence a bit more alarming than you think. "

Rose kisses her forehead again. "Why's that?"

"Because you already love me." As she said this, she begins to fade a little. Arcadia looks around, alarmed. Zeth was fading in the background, more so than Arcadia.

Rose sets her on the ground, looking panicked. "What is it? What's going on?!"

"Something's happening. Zeth was supposed to stay with Kyllic until he was reincarnated. He was the only link keeping Kyllic in this state." Arcadia looked around, "It wasn't supposed to be so soon..." The Arcadia's face turns to one of understanding, "Oh. That's so gross. Oh. Oh. EW."

Arcadia looks to Zeth, then back to Arcadia. "Yeah, gross, but should Kyllic be able to wake up now? Or will I still need to link with him?"

"I...don't think so. He was only under a comma due to punishment. But if Zeth is being reincarnated, I don't think they have any reason to hold him under. It should be fine. Let's wait it out and see."

Kyllic smiled, picking his daughter up, "So this will be the last time we see each other for awhile. I'm going to miss you, kiddo." Arcadia nudged him, kissing his forehead. She walks to Zeth, taking his hand and kissing it, "I'll be right here. Don't panic."

Rose takes Kyllic's hand, kissing his cheek. "C'mon Kyllic, time to wake up..."

Squeezing her hand, he closed his eyes, forcing himself to wake up. His eyes jolt open, and he quirks his mouth upwards, but his head pounded like a thousand bricks.

Rose kisses him. "Hey, dumbass...Welcome back to the land of the living...."

Beyril smiled behind them. She stood, sneaking toward the. Door to give them some time.

"That was one hell of a ride, hmmm? I guess we know what our siblings are doing." Kyllic grimaced. He could just imagine. With one swipe, he had her pined down to the bed, their foreheads touching, "God, I've missed you, you know?"

Rose blushes, an unusual gesture for her. "I know, Kyllic. God, do I know..."

"Never leave me again." He kisses the crook of her neck, then upwards, kissing her jawline right to her lips, "Never leave me." They were more like a plea, and pulls her tight into his embrace, kissing her passionately, hugging her protectively.

Rose smiles weakly, feeling like a child in his arms. This was the only place she decided she could feel like that and it would be fine. She allowed her other emotions, the one beside anger and apathy, to run free and then she was crying. She wraps him in a tight hug. "I-I promise I won't...Never again, never ever..."

He pulled her face up with her chin, kissing her tears slowly til they were gone, "Good. I can't live without you. I couldn't breathe without you. " He kisses her again, pulling her tight to him, loving caressing her back,

Rose curls into his body. They were like two puzzle pieces. They were meant to fit together. She returns his kiss, trying to express all her love for him in one simple gesture.

"As long as I'm around you will never be alone. I will always be here."  He kissed her nose, resting his head on top of hers. "and I will protect you. Always. To the best of my abilities. And as much as you allow me."

Rose starts to cry again, squeezing him tightly as she hugs him. "I-I felt so alone....Without you, a-and Dowan....even Sylas....I-I didn't have anyone, b-but now....now you're here, w-with me....Don't l-let me go..."

He hug her tighter, his face hardening. This was all his fault. He would adamantly never let her go. He settles them into the bed, hugging her so close it was like they were the same person. "Goodnight, pretty lady."

Rose sniffles, tears still streaming down her face as she closed her eyes, snuggling close to him. "Promise y-you'll never let me go..."

"Never." He promised, closing his eyes.

Rose smiles lightly at that, slowly falling to sleep as she snuggled close to him.

OOC: Is it bad that I'm expecting another Saca thing?
