(stupid music)
The waves caressed the pinkish sands of the beach before retreating back into the massive blanket of blue. A wry looking duo dressed in grey and black rags paired with worn down leather, stood side by side; looking out at the setting sun. The deeper skinned male, decently taller than his female counterpart, looked to his side to glance upon the raven haired woman. A smile slowly danced across his visage, but he didnβt speak. She turned her face and her eyes met with his, and her right brow perked upward. Perplexed by his silence she chose to speak instead. βDonβt patronize me, Versace! Youβre going to dread the day you look to a setting sun, but without my company.β
The Elven man rolled his eyes before placing a gloved hand on the intersection of his bladeβs hilt and his beltβs loop. Heβd then avert his gaze slightly upright to admire the melting gradient of color spread across the sky above them. A few more moments passed, and the only sounds were the gulls and the salty breeze. βWhat if there were really a time, Eileen, when we were no longer together? When, just like everyone else weβve know, you or I are gone too?β The man asked, the corners of his mouth mustβve grown heavy because they began to weigh down his once cheery demeanor.
βIβm sure weβd certainly be gone, together.β The witch scoffed, lightly slapping her open palm against his upper arm. Sheβd blink a few times before her furrowed brows and concerned eyes fixed themselves onto his face. Before she could, he spoke; βBut, what if it wasnβt that way? What if you were here, and I was not? Or, if I were here and you wereβ¦ somewhere else?β Her pale lips parted, but struggled to form a response. Her dark blue eyes then fell to their feet, the waves shyly kissing their toes.
βWell, th-that simply couldnβt beβ¦ Because, I would be quite lost without you.β Sheβd respond, her words trying their best to stand strong, but like a newborn deer, its legs hardly managed to keep them up. βWho would I follow, when I donβt know which way to go? A-and, who would I run to, when Iβm just not strong enough?β Sheβd sheepishly interrogate the man at her side.
βEven when we leave this world for the next, Iβll always have your back. A promise is a promise.β Heβd tease.
