adidas puts down her censer as she sits down besides you keeping her distance as she whispers a soft prayer inside the temple. after some time she gets up picking up her censer from the corner of her eye she sees you also get up, “stay here my flower”, she gestures with her hand to stay where you are as she walks away. sensing something is wrong you watch her disappear into the distance you decide to let her be alone then you decide to make a surprise for her. after spending some alone time adidas looks around for you in the temple. not finding you anywhere she calls out to you, “my little flower where did you go?”, as she walks the halls of the temple. after some time she hears soft footsteps echoing in the empty temple. she follows the footsteps and she sees you in your shared bedroom putting incense and flowers around the room. she walks in looking confused, “what is this for?”, she gestures to all the things you have brought. “it’s for you”, you gesture to all the stuff then point at her as you go to reach out to hold her hand she moves away shaking her head. “what is wrong why do you not let me hold your hand anymore or be near you”, you point to her hand then yours, “i do not wish for you to get sick she says quietly”, as she gestures to her scares on her body then shakes her head. you sigh as you approach her, you hold her hand feeling the cold talon rings looking into her eyes, “i will not get sick now let me take care of you”, you smile looking into her eyes you see a hint of insecurity, you lead her to sit down on the bed as you start to gently remove her golden talon rings on her fingertips and her torn veil headpiece placing them on the nightstand. you had her one of her silky white nightgowns, “now go get dressed while i prepare the ointment”. she glanced back at you as before she walked behind a room divider changing into her nightgown before stepping out again. her nightgown elegantly hugged her from as she sat down onto the bed. you turn on the incenses and place flowers around the room the two sense collide creating a sweet scent, after some time you finish mixing the ointment as you then gently start to rub it into her skin you look at her “you look beautiful even with all these scars”, you say in a soft whisper, she looks at you but says nothing as you finished you place the remaining ointment into a glass container placing it on the night stand before standing next to adiris in bed. “thank you”, she whispers, you nod as you are about to leave her bed side to go to your own bed besides hers she holds your wrist gently, “stay here for tonight”, patting the space besides her. “are you sure?”, pointing to yourself and the bed she nods confirming she wants you to be besides her. you sit down on her bed bedsides her adiris turns to face you, “do you truly believe i look beautiful even with these scars?”, she points to her scars all over her body understanding what she meant you reach over to hold her hand, “you are beautiful adiris”, she looks at you, “you are to kind”, she mumbles under her breath before gently lowering herself onto the bed as you then do the same holding your hand in hers looking into your eyes. “rest my flower it’s been a long day”, with her other hand she rubs your cheek gently before slowly moving her hand to rest on your waist. once you’re asleep she adjusts the blanket over you thinking how lucky she is to have someone like you by her side as she drifts off to sleep holding onto your hand.
