"I promise to take better care of myself," she said softly. "And I'll let you and the others help me."
Raven smiled, it's not that she could hide something from him...he was happy, relief washing over his features. "That's all I ask."
They sat together in comfortable silence for a few moments, simply enjoying each other's presence. For the first time in days, Seraphina felt a sense of peace and contentment.
Even as they sat there, she could feel the bond between them strengthening, and it was a feeling she cherished deeply. The simple act of being together, sharing in each other's company, brought a sense of normalcy and hope that she hadn't felt in a long time....
Raven suddenly frowned once he noticed her cheeks had sunken despite her quiet laughter.
"Have you eaten?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.
"Yes, I have," Seraphina replied.
