-- POV Freya --
"I...well...when you contacted me I had just left Elysium on my way to Syn Forest...
"Excuse me ?"
Gaya's words echoed in my mind and buzzed in my ears. I wasn't sure if I had heard them correctly as I was going through various emotions. Did my wife really want to leave ? Was she really going to leave Shiro ? What about the Empire ? I couldn't for the life of me understand how Gaya could drop everything to join me, no matter how sweet the gesture.
"You...I...sigh, for starters we're fine, it's hard to explain but everything is fine. Now...we left a day and a half ago and you're already outside the Empire ? My love, I understand that you're worried but shouldn't you have waited a bit before deciding ? We left on an expedition that could take us anywhere, I wouldn't always have the opportunity to contact you and then our bond means...you know if I'm still alive."
