Solus was used being the other half of that "we". She and Lith had been the only "we" for over fifteen years and now Kamila had taken it from her. Solus looked at the woman that waited in front of the house, keeping herself at a distance to give them the space and time they needed.
Solus found herself envying Kamila deeply.
Not because of her long legs or because she looked amazing in a bikini. Nor because Kamila looked as youthful as an Awakened thanks to Jirni's training, Salaark's Rebirth Magic, and the happiness of the recent days.
But because she could feel through her bond with Lith that whenever he looked at Kamila, he didn't see her worries, he wasn't afflicted by her burden. All he felt from her was her love and care.
The lack of a magical connection put a distance between them, but at the same time made their intimate knowledge of each other precious instead of taking it for granted.
