Alexandra woke up after a few hours, only to see Lith looking at her with a smile.
She smiled back and said, "darling…"
Lith patted her back and asked, "slept well?"
"Mhm." Alexandra hugged Lith and hummed while nodding her head.
"It's time to go back to the sect now." Lith said to Alexandra.
Hearing that, Alexandra hugged Lith tighter and snuggled closer to him, as if afraid she would lose him as well.
Lith smiled and caressed her hair. He knew what she was thinking of and why she did such actions. Alexandra was very strong mentally and physically but traumas are hard to be forgotten and get over with. The trauma of her losing her parents was still with her and she didn't want to lose Lith right now as well. For this, she hugged me tight to ensure he didn't go anywhere.
Lith looked at Alexandra and softly called out, "Alexandra."
"Hmm?" Alexandra hummed while snuggling in Lith's embrace.
