[ She can't help but laugh at his response. She's really has missed him. ]
I will do exactly that. But I'll take a rain check on dinner because I suspect that even if they ARE releasing you today, you're still meant to take it easy.
[ Besides. She suspects Archer will be channelling all his fussing into cooking and baking over the next several days, anyway. ]
Would you like me to come meet you at the infirmary? Just to make sure you can escape to freedom?
[ And true to her word, she is, arriving outside the Coven's infirmary in a silvery cape pulled tight to ward off the lingering winter chill. her hands tucked beneath it, she glances around to see if he's come out yet - or if she really will have to break in to free him. ]
[ Fortunately (?), there's no need for intervention. Yona doesn't get to wait long before Cú leaves the infirmary on his own. Turns out his claims of being in danger of being held out have been grossly overestimated!
But he doesn't look all that well when he leaves. Paler, thinner, drained— the spark lights in his eyes on the moment he notices Yona though. One, two, three, and there he is, looming over her as if he was going to take her into a hug but— he stops himself at the last moment and offers a gentle squeeze on her shoulder instead. ]
[ Her own eyes light up at the sight of him, but a moment later there's a deep rush of concern as she sees the state he's in, her heart pinching with worry as she turns towards him. She feels that touch to her shoulder and holds herself back from flinging herself at him - if only because she doesn't know if he's still in pain anywhere and doesn't want to make that worse. ]
Oh, Cu...
[ She blinks quickly, her eyes stinging for a moment before she just... steps close enough that she can lean forward to press just her forehead against his chest, feeling the warmth and solid presence of him and taking that as reassurance. ]
[ There's a moment of hesitation, a hint of worry— but they wouldn't let him out if he was still carrying the danger of Cwyld, and so he gives in. Putting his arms around her and clutching her close, settling into the relief of seeing (and feeling across the Bond) each other again... ]
It's been rough month— but here we are, reunited again.
[ When she feels his arms wrap around her, she pauses for a moment, but then she's wrapping just as tightly around him, arms wound about his waist as she tips her head back to peer up at him again. ]
[ She gives him a teary smile, but rubs at her stinging eyes with a hand for a moment. ]
I know you were. I'm grateful for it. I was just worried for you.
[ The effects she had seen that night when facing the cult had been terrible in entirely new ways. Familiar faces caught between varying levels of sickness, losing themselves to the Cwyld. That he'd fallen ill so soon after...
But she just gives him another squeeze, trying instead to focus on the part that he was healed and out, if still looking a little worse for wear. ]
Don't be sorry. I'm glad you're here now. Shall we go home?
｢ ooc: FYI he got cwylded earlier, before the big cwyld showdown ｣
[ Inside the Bright Wall, in the well-protected Aefenglom, it's sometimes easy to forget the disease that is eating away at the world. Maybe they needed that kind of reminder— that would give that awful month a resemblance of worth. ]
That's the plan. Take a stroll, get something out of one of the carts. [ Warm drinks, or snacks, should they be available ] —I heard there's a feast waiting for us already.
[ Cú tangles his finger into her, stroking her head soothingly. Another physical proof that they're reunited ]
[ She gives a soft laugh at that, leaning into that touch for a moment before taking a step back and giving him a tug towards the gate. ]
Then let's make good on your escape. Before they change their minds and decide to keep you longer, yes?
[ Shooting him a playful grin, she tugs him out into the warren of streets towards home. ] I'm not surprised. He's been fretting. Especially not being able to visit you. So no ruining your appetite on the way. But I did pass a cart selling hot cocoa on the way here that smelled delicious...
