There's a loud ringing in my ears and I guess I must still be alive. How nice for me. A young and tragic death is not what I was hoping for for myself. Lucien either, and I wonder how Kaeli did. Someone's calling for me and I groan, hand on my head.
My throat feels like it's full of shards and I manage to say, "Yeah, I'm here." It occurs to me that the voice talking to me is not female and mustering a miniscule amount of excitement, I ask, "Lucien?" I pick myself up enough to lean back on my elbows and continue, "Goddamn, it's good to see you awake and alive again."
He looks like a bloody mess and I smile wide at how bad he looks. He looks like I feel. and I say, "You look like death warmed over, which is alright I suppose, since you did die." Kaeli's body is laying across his and I cheerfully continue, "Look at what you did. You wore Kaeli out. Me too." My grin returns and I add, "I always knew you had it in you."
