Another Aetlution Memory
Aetlution squeezed her a little tighter. "Well, I'm using both arms, aren't I?" He smiled, though let out a small sigh. "Its...annoying though. Its still stiff and I can't really use it, but I know its getting better." He brushed her hair away from the bruise, his fingers gliding down the side of her face -very- softly, barely even touching the actual bruise. "How sore are you?"
Cyndyn returned his smile, squeaking slightly as his embrace surprised her. She fought the urge to wince in reaction to his barest of touches and she fidgeted. "I feel like I fell from a horse or something.. I've been using Surra's salves but still." She shrugged.
Aetlution smiles weakly, immediately retracting his hand from her face and setting it instead on her hand. "Sorry, curiosity got the better of me." He then rested his chin on her shoulder, looking up to her out of the corner of his eyes. "I'm sorry, by the way. I promised I'd stay with you for a week or two...didn't take me long to break that."
