Aelana and Kitty landed in the snow with Angel on top of them. Orcash had let go while she was falling and stood over them, watching as the elves crawled from under the unconscious undead's wings. "Hmpf," Orcash grunted, "it seems she was serious after all." Aelana couldn't control herself after that, she had known the orc for a long time, was a good friend of him and learned how to deal with this attitude, but completely lost it here. "Of course she was serious you dimwit!" she burst out, "do you mean to tell me you still didn't trust her, after all that has happened, what she has done for me? For us?" she almost cried. This woman just saved them and this was the thanks she got from her friend. "Do you have any idea what she is going through? Everyone wants her dead, and here she is saving my ass twice now!" Aelana turned to look at Angel who was still down in the snow. "You two, please go ahead, we will see you in Dalaran," she spoke in soft tones, wanting to be left alone. Orcash was going to interrupt but Kitty had already grabbed his arm and was practically dragging him with her. She understood exactly what Angel was going through and figured it would be best to leave her alone with Aelana for a bit. Judging from what her old friend had told her she needed some more time alone with the elf to work out her feelings.
That is exactly what the priestess wanted too right now, some time alone with the former paladin. She had once again saved her life and was now knocked out because she pushed herself too hard, she knew that Angel went through excruciating pain for them. She kneeled down to her apparent guardian angel and turned her around so she now lay on her back, she placed her so, that she almost sat up. Aelana looked in the direction Orcash and Kitty went in to make sure they were completely out of sight before she just started staring at the former elf. By the sunwell, she was pretty. She thanked the light that she was allowed to take in every aspect of her saviour without being frowned upon. She nearly fell over when a small grunt of pain came from Angel, she seemed to be experiencing some kind of pain while unconscious. Aelana placed her knees in the snow, next to the undead's, placed her hands on her sides and prayed to the light to help this lost soul. The priestess invoked holy magics to relieve the tension caused on Angel's body. She then sought for the base of the former paladin's wings and massaged that area with her hands, her magics dripping from her fingers. She was losing more and more focus, her body started pressing against the undead's as she worked her way up the wings. She didn't want to stand and leave her current position for that. At some point, she just snapped, and her lips were on those of Angel before she knew it.
She kissed her angel, very gently as to not wake her. It was much better than what she had expected, her lips were warm and soft and the feeling made her melt inside. She broke off for a bit to look at the other's face, and to stroke her beautiful, silky silver hair. She pulled closer and kissed her again and she couldn't look back at this woman's past, it became irrelevant to her. She left doubt behind, there was no more hesitation, this was her moment of clarity. She knew her purpose now, she had looked for it all her life in the light, and found it in the darkest pits at her would-be death in Icecrown. She knew she was in love with this being before her. She then hugged the undead elf, not allowing herself to take advantage of her any more than what she already did. Angel groggily awoke not too much later. "Hmm, you smell so good," were the words she mumbled still not fully conscious. Aelana was flustered by it and she quickly pulled back and stood up. Angel opened her eyes and quickly glanced around, "Where are Kitty and Orcash?" she asked. Aelana gave her a hand to get up, "They went on ahead to Dalaran, I stayed here to heal you, you think we can catch up to them?" Angel spread and folded her wings a few times, "These feel a lot better already, thank you so much, I think I need a bit more rest, catching up to them should be no problem once my wings work properly." Aelana found Angel looking at her and wondered what the matter was. "Is there something wrong?" she asked. "I don't know," the undead started "I think there is something you should know, now that there is no one around," she finished after pausing a long time. The sin'dorei feared there was something horribly wrong, yet asked what bothered the winged being. "Well," she hesitated "I haven't known you for such a long time, but I think you should know, I… I think I like you Aelana." "That's alright, I like you too, you do know that," Aelana obliviously responded. "I meant as in," she looked at Aelana before finishing with a whisper, "love you."
A/N Did anyone see what I did there? :^)
