“That hardly aligns with my intentions, Cre’yth,” I noted with a small laugh, then frowned. “I am weary of this existence, Alessandra, and even if your Imperial bureaucracy would ‘sanction’ a Druchi Wych, and I highly doubt they would, I do not want to persist any longer.”
“Why?” Alessandra’s voice was almost wet, and I scowled.
“Because I have chosen to pass,” I pressed the point as I advanced on her until I was standing over her, towering over her. “My lifespan has been purchased in oceans of blood and seas of pain and there is nothing now that moves me, you and your… whatever it is you are giving me, is fleeting and will fade in time as well, and that thought only spurs me onward.”
“I’m not giving you anything,” she bit out through her flush, and I chuckled.
“You feel for me,” I knelt in the water, reached out, and pressed my palm to her cheek. “You care for me, and in time I will grow numb to it, and the taste is sweet, and I would prefer to die before I felt that fall to nothingness with everything else.”
Her dark skin was warm against my pale flesh, and I indulged myself as I ran my thumb softly just beneath her eye, resting it on the small black tattoo of a three-pointed flower I found there.
