Ilfin 5
“Way
too esoteric for me,” Iniri muttered with some asperity. “However, whatever, we
need deal with our present and it includes the Glonu Empress asleep in the
other room.”
Enris
shrugged. He seemed to have run out of words.
“She
cared enough to find you,” Iniri murmured.
“Maybe,
but there is too much separating us.” Enris leaned back and closed his eyes. “I
am more at peace, though, after the revelations surrounding the birth of our
daughter, and thus able to move forward without the guilt. Hopefully Leffandir
will, too.”
“I
have made my peace with that past, yes,” the woman under discussion said from
the doorway. She swayed slightly and grabbed at the jamb. “Now we need to make
peace, Enris, between our worlds. Once that is achieved there may be a future
for me and you also.”
He
stared at her across the small space. “Do you seek that future?”
“I
do,” she whispered.
Enris
lurched to his feet and strode to her, taking her into his arms. Rocking
together, they held each other.
Mirlin
gestured with his head and, smiling, Iniri followed his lead.
The two
left.
