Ehlyj walked forward, his black gloved hands tightened into curled fists, following the scent of his lover, which was more distinct for him than actually being able to see her. As he found her, dagger still plunged deep within the Expert Necromancer; his eyes glanced to the hilt of the weapon she'd used. His yellow eyes glowed like a cat's would at night, moving from the dark weapon to his lover's face, seeing, and knowing that she suffered every day with that curse of hers. It was the price she paid among other things, for the choices they'd made and the enemies that had gone hand-in-hand with those choices. She would NEVER have to face them alone; he would make sure of that. Behind him followed three of the summoned ethereal wolves, whose bodies were a semi-transparent purple, like the second moon, and whose snouts still dripped with the physical blood of the mortals they'd just murdered. Ehlyj gestured with his tail in the direction ahead of them, to scout the rest of the way down-which they proceeded to do, passing directly through his wife like ghosts. He walked forward, eyes on her; he kicked the necromancer's temple once with his leather boot, checking for any reminiscent signs of life. Not necessarily for conformation, but out of habit. They never made errors like that.
Perhaps he just wanted to-
"My darling, I…" -he opened his mouth, to possibly address the subject of her curse, but realizing he had similar issues of his own, he did not want to seem hypocritical.
-We should head back to the nearest guild tavern."
Kahe placed a gloved hand on her husband's chest and looked up meeting his yellow gaze; words began rasping from her throat-
"Tell me what you wanted to say, do not say it is not important or never mind, everything you say is important to me and you know how I feel when you don't tell me all that is on your mind."
She moved closer to him and laid her head on his chest. Yes, she was well aware the death lord could rise at any moment, but she knew they had plenty of time. They always had time, she would always know this. She closed her eyes and listened to him breathe before she spoke to him again.
"You can tell me here or at the tavern, but you will tell me...please." It was a moment of weakness for her, she shouldn't have gone hand to hand with the necromancer, but none-the-less she sought comfort and protection from her mate this time. Kahe breathed deeply, taking in his scent which was one of the few things that brought her comfort and also acted like an aphrodisiac. She nuzzled his chest in a helpless gesture; she realized (with her head against his chest) she had to make a decision of where they would go next. Once more she looked up and met his gaze, she cupped his jaw in her paw-like hands and on an almost silent whisper she said to him-
"I will always Love you Ehlyj , my heart and soul."
His tail stuck straight out behind him, frizzled on the end for a moment, at the touch of his lover. It would seem that both of the lovers had a fair hand inside of the dark arts, more so than most others in the continent of Skyrim. He himself had also had... dealings with Nocturnal, if they could be called that. Something about her seemed too deceptive for him to ever truly trust; sometimes he felt that maybe the horrid Daedric princess was just trying to get back at HIM through his wife. Little did she know how strong the two's bond was. The bonds of Khajit mates were much more primal and more unbreakable than the fleeting promises of humans. He wanted to look directly into the shadows, knowing Nocturnal was watching them and curse her for what she was. For now, his ears perked back up, showing the stronger side of himself, the unfaltering side that the guild had come to trust and follow with their lives.
"We will go back to the tavern for now. Come now, if we timed it correctly, dusk should be ending and Lunari will guide us back home." (Lunari was the purple moon that guided them) For the trip back, he felt content knowing the wolf spirits guarded them from behind as they travelled along lesser known paths back to a small settlement just outside of Riften Lake.
