It’s true Kathy didn’t depart on the best terms with both of them, in fact, Samael had been less than keen on following after her. Back then, he was to hurt by the words she threw at both of them and his pride refused to let him follow after her. Yet, had it not been for the words of a certain god who refused to give up on her no matter what he might’ve allowed an old mistake to play out again. Over time, whatever anger that had been stir that day was slowly replaced by a sense of longing and guilt. Never again shall he silence his emotions and lose another loved one to pride.
“The answer should be more than obvious” A gentle hand is placed on her shoulder. “Did you honestly believe we would leave you alone? Whatever may happen…you’ll always be the most important person in our lives”
He gives her a gentle smile before removing his hand and jokingly crossing his arms while squinting his one eye at her.
“Besides, a certain someone said some very rude shit to a demon just like that. If she thinks just by going around the multiverse she can escape compensating said demon she’s got a big storm coming”
Of course, his joking demeanor crumbles as she presses on the issue regarding his missing eye. Leave it to Kathy to worry about the little things, and leave it to Samael to make small of things that should worry him a lot more. He shakes his head, trying to avoid the prying eye of the goddess.
“I’m fine, honestly. Seeker and I took care as best we could but…despite having a new body there are some old sins I cannot forego. I promise you I’m alright no other wounds to speak of…” Well that’s an obvious lie but the last thing Samael wants is to spoil this reunion by worrying her.
‘Whatever may happen...you’ll always be the most important person in our lives.’
Gods, she was a horrible person. How did she manage to bring herself to be cruel to them? Why had it been so easy to push herself to do it, just with the idea that in the end, it was only to protect them? ‘Protect them’..by hurting them? By lying to them?
She’s not sure if it was how genuinely kind they were to someone like her, or if it was because that kindness was coupled with the gentle action of resting his hand on her shoulder, but she can fill the familiar sting in her eyes, and the gathering of a warm liquid at the corners. She immediately misses it when it’s taken away, and she internally chastises herself. As touch starved as she now was, she had no right to crave such affections from someone she’d treated so horribly.
“I’m sorry.” he’d meant it jokingly, she could hear it in his tone, and she could see it in the playful squint of his eye. He wasn’t really angry with her -- stars above, why not? He should hate her! He should curse her name and the very ground she walks upon, spit out every mention of her with enough venom to perhaps finally take her down, for good.. Yet the most he does is tease. “I--I didn’t mean it--any of it. I know that doesn’t make it better, or--or make it okay, but I.. You..both of you are..you’re so very important to me, and I will apologize to Seeker, too--however much I need to, I will, I promise, but-- I’m so, so sorry, Samael.”
A part of her, within the crushing regret and self-hatred, is relieved that she has something else to focus on -- even if it is still him. She’d abandoned him, and Seeker, and everyone else in their universe. Wasn’t it only right that she look to devote herself to their well-beings now, in any attempt to make up for it? It certainly wouldn’t change it, or make it better, or erase what she’d done in any way, but she at least owed it to them to do better than she had, before. It’s probably wrong -- most likely wrong, to think she can turn around and act like this, now. It’s worse that she knows they might accept it -- most of them surely will. She’s such a horrible, selfish creature.
"You’re a shit liar, you know that?” She’s glad she can still laugh at it, despite the way it’s choked out past the tears that still threatened to fall.”I still have a med kit, somewhere -- where else are you hurt? I might not be able to do anything for the holier wounds, but..even if you two did do something for the regular ones, let me make sure everything’s really alright, if I can?”
