`DUTY WAS HIS BIRTH AND HE WAS ABSOLUTE TO HIS ICHOR. Not quite a shadow, not quite a reflection / NEITHER SATIATED STAYING FULLY OUT OF SIGHT BUT STEPS BEHIND / NOR BEING IN THE FOREFRONT OF EYES. (FLITTING BETWEEN BOTH / AND BECOMING MORE WHEN NECESSARY). Domineering his jurisdiction as necessary, keeping things in line, in order / PROTECTED & SAFE. Even when things tried to slip between the seams and steal. It was an INEVITABILITY that could in turn, also chose not to pass, but the odds were stacked against favor. (A POSSIBILITY STACKED IN A MANNER THAT THE OPPOSITE BECAME IGNORABLE). What should be a reapers claim was but the attendant removing distance and passive background motions. Body that should have been left / GIVEN NO HOPE LIKE THE REST THAT LAY WITHIN HERE / was to be given treatment of a new location, a new breath, fresh vitality (ONE PULSE TO KEEP ANOTHER, AFTER ALL).
`CONSCIOUSNESS CAME SEEPING IN BEFORE VALTIEL HAD TAKEN TO OBSCURITY AMONG THE WHOLE UNTIL DEEMED OTHERWISE. Conjoined phalanges pressed against a arm unlatching as she chose to move him / UNRESISTING IN HER CHOICES. But unsplitting, taking not to vent or wall but mere feet away, poised on feet but leaned where hands just INCHES away from being planted among floor with them / HEAD DIRECTED BY CONSTANT MOVEMENT BUT DIRECTED AT HEATHER (ATTENTIVE COMPLETELY TOWARDS). Grunts from misshapen facade were low, calm as could be considered from him, even as attention he had just been giving was treated as such. / @vomitsgod
