"Be safe", Reyna would whisper, when they part ways to the different missions.
"I will" Sage will blush in return.
Youngsters will joke and laugh and tease Reyna for all they want, but she would just smile in the small secret way before promising to kill them with newfound smirk, while purple eyes won't tear from the retreating figure.
"Why didn't you tell me to be safe?" Sage pouts, reloading her weapon.
"Because when I'm with you, you don't need it. I'll keep you safe myself", Reyna smirks and shoots the enemy as example.
Duelist keeps her word, keeps her safe and then (when they finally stop being stupid, as everyone say) keeps her happy.
"No, Reyna, please", Sage presses her trembling hands to the bleeding wound.
Her powers are too weak, she didn't have time to restore it, because there are no more enemies for Reyna to feed at, no more time as her life slowly flows to the ground.
"Hey, Ling?" Reyna coughs, sliding her already cold fingers down Sage's jaw. "Be safe".
