Requiem : [ I live! ]
Rhys swayed his feet, recapping what had happen and the power he had commanded for those fleeting moments. He grinned to himself in secret and though others were in horrid mood, he was always chipper. He hid from the rest as they talked of Exodus and Lukas' possession and Lawson's death.
There was Woe in such.
But such was expected.
"We fought Gods." He quietly commented to the shadows. His hands lifted and a sneer came from his lips before he recognized the smell of the bloody strength of Carlo Gialotti. There was a stutter in his step as he stared at the man, his hands lowering beside him. He was always twitchy around beings like him, men and woman who haven't slept in a while.. Blood Gods.
Rhys closed his eyes as he was welcomed with a gently pat on the back and showed gently toward the others to listen in, gazing quietly at the few he instantly recognized. His hand rising to greet Dag casually who gave him a worried nod and turned his head to bow his head to Charli. The shadow weaver bought a smile to his face. He listened quietly as a few people spoke of not leaving, continuing the fight until they gained Exodus back and he turned up to Carlo Gialotti.
"What will you do?" The man asked. Every question made his still heart cringe, that paranoid gaze staring at the man before him. He sucked in a false breath and sighed.
"I must go back to Orlando .. But I will return a day afterwards."
Was that my real voice, or just something to please the terror and make the man smile. He did indeed smile and moved away with a predatory grace that made Rhys rest his hand against his own head with a heavy, worried sigh. He turned to a few others, seeing the anger on Dominion's face .. He best come back to Hamilton, or Dominion will snatch his head off. No need to ruffle the feathers of 'Big Sister' ..
He started to stalk off, but was stopped for a moment and glanced to Molly of the Blackberries. Resting a gentle hand on her shoulder and whispering.
"Things will get better." ..
'Why am I lying?'...
"We'll win."
'We're all going to die ..'...
"I'm pretty sure."
'You can't kill these things. The End Is Coming! Deathknell! --'
"I'll be back soon."
.... ....
"I'll be back soon."
