She frowns as he slowly rises, seeing the exhaustion in his body as he moves. She doesn't resist as he grasps her hand, making her look at the deep cuts in her palms. As he touches her cheek turning her face, her mind races with his next words, and her eyes shine a brillant purple/amber watching him.

As he quickly moves away and begins speaking, she can feel the anger stir in his body and the air surrounding him, and she stands still, listening with growing trepidation.

"I will not lose the second half of my heart, " he says, and she stares wide-eyed at him as he comes towards her. As he wraps his arms around her, he sounds calmer as he whispers the name he has given her, "Sof'ya, Sof'ya ush'a ha'shama'im" in her hair.

She watches in amazement as his breath stirs the flame and wind dancing upon the runes she drew. She feels his smile, and watches in wonder as the flame dances away from the runes around the clearing.... ~Is it possible? Only a....~ She doesn't finish the thought, as a new realization hits her, and she almost misses what he says next.

She kisses his burnt fingers as he places them on her lips, asking her to speak, and her eyes glow softly at him. She gestures for him to sit down, and sets next to him, picking up Grounder and touching his nose with a finger.

"Behave, little one, shoo..." She sets him on the ground, sending him to Star. She makes a small hand motion and the rest of the wolves scatter into the forest to guard the clearing....

"But the wind moves with more grace and beauty if accompanied by the flickering power and dance of the flame...."she whispers, and turns to him, looking him in the eyes...

She plays with the bandages on her hands, and begins...

"There are two things I have yet to tel you, and one is just a feeling. The other will answer the question I see burning in your eyes as to why I resigned myself to death when I fell." She looks up into the sky, and whispers, "I did not want to die, but fate has a funny way of playing with hearts and souls, and I thought maybe this was a test.....".

She knows that that answer is not going to satisfy him, and she hesitates, trying to get her thoughts straight, before continuing on.....
