Eurydice tilts her head up, brushing her nose against his in featherlight affection.
“Amein vut mir,” Feyd-Rautha murmurs.
Eurydice exhales softly, a shiver coursing through her body as she presses her cheek against his own.
He holds her closer, his arms a protective shield around her. Once more, the world fades into oblivion. There are only the two of them to be found within this hapless void.
“Don’t try to die for me again,” Eurydice says.
“What a glorious way to die.”
“I forbid it,” Eurydice says, pulling back so their eyes can meet once more. “Promise me you won’t try anything moronic like that again.”
“Moronic, velliväri?”
“You made an oath to me,” Eurydice says, her hands raising to cup his jaw. “Make me this promise, too, that you will live for me.”
Feyd-Rautha threads his fingers through her hair, toying with them. “Always.”
