"Nobody has ever touched my wings in that way," he agrees. "You are right about that. Never have I allowed someone that...close."
Close.
Something clicks in his mind as he speaks, as if a piece of the puzzle has fallen into place: Close. She is closer to you and you are closer to her.
Skellig tilts his head, trying to listen in an effort to make better sense of not only his body, but also his feelings, his mind. Then something else clicks, and this one hits a little harder, causing his breath to catch in his chest sharply: You have been missing parts to your soul for so long. You go as to where you are needed. Searching. But now you do not need to search. You have found a missing piece. It is her. He tips his head back, trying to catch her gaze with his eyes. There is relief in his expression when he looks at her.
"Oh, Kreyu," he whispers, reaching up to stroke her cheek. "I...I am no longer lost." There is gratitude and relief in his voice, along with a power that speaks of how much this means to him. "I am...I am exactly where I belong. With you. I am yours."
