Ran held Raini close, resting his head against hers. Somehow it felt as if their journey was nearing its end... for better or for worse. As if the end of the world was imminent and they were all holed up in this cave, awaiting their last hours alive. Even if that wasn't the truth, he knew that from now on... there could be no going back, only to go forward.

And he did not intend to spend whatever last hours fate had in store for him worrying about what his end would be like. He was here... with his beloved... with his friends. That was bliss enough.

He sighed heavily as he leaned in on Raini's neck, kissing her there passionately. "Maybe Mazga here could help you out?" he suggested. "You know... once we get back to Fort Slayer?"

If we get back to Fort Slayer...

"I know for sure that I wouldn't mind settling down for once and enjoy the sound of tiny footsteps waking me up in the early hours... and the scent of my beautiful wife lying right next to me."

He talked about it to keep her spirit up. From where he was sitting, that dream seemed distant, alien and foreign. No matter how much he wished it could happen, he knew that the possibility of success of their mission, and the chances of their survival were... slim...

Falana grabbed Nyx and discreetly swam with her to the other end of the grotto once she noticed Jared approaching. Under the cover of the steam he wouldn't be able to notice them.

"What do you say, my love?" murmured Falana and gently adjusted Nyx's hair to the side. "You want to stay here in the water for a while longer or do you want to get up and get dry with the others?"

A hand teasingly found its way in-between Nyx's thighs. "Not that I would let you stay dry", Falana said, breathing loudly.

Hildi sighed heavily to herself, having her back turned to edge where Jared was standing. It was impossible to tell whether or not she was aware of his presence. She seemed sad, somber, gloomy and just altogether miserable. Even though no one was berating her for her secret, she most likely seemed to think so... or more likely she was berating herself.

Katri laughed and sat down with Aigren, laying a helping hand on his leg. "Well, you better wait up for a moment until the other girls finish up. Can't have a young stud like yourself running amok down there, can we?"
