[nospaces] [attr="class","twtgm"] [attr="class","main"] It is not the first time Tempest has seen him cry. But it is, perhaps, the worst. There is something raw and terrible in the sound that escapes Cillian's throat, a choked-off wail of grief that quiets into a soft, pleading whimper.[break][break] Perhaps it is because Temp, ordinarily the more emotional of the two, states the ugly truth so calmly, and Cillian immediately understands what it means. He remembers the strange peace that had settled over his husband's face as he'd given himself to the deep so that Cillian might live. It had only been a simulation, but just like the memory, the feelings that lingered were real.[break][break] He'd come to accept, then, what he'd tried so hard to ignore.[break][break] Death was easier for Temp than living through such monumental grief.[break][break] That his husband was still here, that he'd forced himself to continue trudging through the pain of their overwhelming loss, meant more than Cillian could find words to express. He clings to him, instead, grip tight enough to be painful.[break][break] "I'm glad we had her," he admits, muffled against Temp's shoulder, "but... neither could I. Even if Rocket..."[break][break] He can't say it, for he knows it's a reality that can never be. There will always be Rocket, and he will never be the King of Circhester again. He will never be free... but even in freedom, he could not face such loss anew.[break][break] Rowan Wrynn and Lulu Flint were enough.[break][break] "I'm glad you're still here."[break][break] Please don't leave me.[break][break] [attr="class","pkmn"][break] [newclass=.twtgm] --accent: #765d75; [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm] width: 420px; margin: 0 auto; color: #aaa; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: .5px; text-align:justify; padding-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px; line-height: 15px; [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm .main] padding: 40px; background: #272727;[/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm b] color: var(--accent); font-size: 12px; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: .5px; [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm a] text-decoration: none; font-size: 11px; font-weight: lighter; [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm h1, h2, h3] display: inline-block; [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm h1] font-size: 13px; font-weight: lighter; color: var(--accent); letter-spacing: .5px; line-height: 0px; font-family: monospace; text-transform: uppercase; [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm u] text-decoration: none;border-bottom: solid 1px var(--accent); [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm .tag] text-align: right; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 20px; font: 11px monospace; [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm .tag a] font: 12px Montserrat; font-weight: 800!important; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0px; color: var(--accent)!important; [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm .notes] text-align: justify; padding: 20px 20px 10px 20px; font: 10px monospace; letter-spacing: .3px; border-top: solid 1.5px #323232; height: auto; line-height: 15px; [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm .notes h1] font: 16px Montserrat; font-weight: 800!important; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; color: var(--accent); text-shadow: 2px 2px 0px #1e1e1e; padding-bottom: 5px; text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm .notes a] font: 10px Montserrat; color: var(--accent); [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm span] display: inline-block; [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm .pkmn] text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; background: var(--accent); padding: 5px; width: 410px; margin-left: -40px; margin-bottom: -40px; margin-top: 10px; [/newclass] [newclass=.twtgm .pkmn img] margin-top: -10px; padding-bottom: 5px; [/newclass]
