My eyes were blurred, but it was better than them being closed constantly. I had been mentally awake for days now, but I just couldn't move or open my eyes. I could hear the whispers and feel someone's hand in mine. I squeezed and felt them shift in their seat. I could see clearly now. Familiar golden eyes bored into my own. A set of green eyes stared anxiously at me. Finally, my eyes rested on the only person I truly wanted to see.
His broad shoulders were hunched and his face was a mix of relief and shock. His hands twisted in his lap, almost anxiously and he seemed reluctant to approach me. I eyed him suspiciously, something was wrong, he almost seemed in pain.

I hadn't left her side. I refused the healers and the food offered to me. I wouldn't leave her ever again. She was showing signs of waking up, that was a relief, but I wasn't sure I was ready to face her yet. She had gone through so much and I felt so guilty that I hadn't managed to protect her like I promised. Shade and Kilorn were with me, both refusing to leave her bedside, but they would accept food. I didn't deserve it, not after all the pain and suffering Mare went through.

His eyes were sunken and dark, his hair ruffled and he was pale as a sheet. Clearly, he had refused everything they offered him whilst I was out.
He approached me tentatively, I smiled at him, willing him to come closer. I hated this distance between us. He arrived at the foot of my bed but made no move to come closer. I frowned slightly, had I done something wrong? I didn't understand why he didn't want to approach me. He wouldn't even look me in the eye. I couldn't help my sigh of dissapointment but I instantly regretted it. He looked even more disappointed.
