【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第十️三章：自由 Free(11)
I raised my gaze and found a pale hand, inhumanly graceful, holding mine, and followed the curve of the arm it was attached to up until I reached its owner, Isarae, who was looking down at me with an expression almost like concern framed by straight sunrise locks.
Those alien eyes were strange to me, or they should have been at least. Yet I found comfort in them, in those bright, wisteria eyes that could never be mistaken for human.
Tearing my eyes from hers, I glanced around myself to find sweat-soaked sheets and mussed blankets, then turned back to her as I nestled back against the pillow I’d been clutching to myself with one hand. The other hand remained steadfastly where it was, gripping hers.
“Did I fall asleep?” I asked softly, and Isarae made a quiet hum as she nodded.
“For a little while,” Isarae replied.
“Why are you here?” I turned from her and stared across the room.
My body ached, and it wanted more rest, but my mind was restless and I knew slumber would be long in coming for me.
“To die, Cre’yth,” she answered after a moment. “I told you.”
“Precisely,” I glanced up at her and found her turning away from me, her lips twisting in frustration. “You came to Amphitria to die, but you’re still here… you could have gone out into the city and created your gallery any time while I slept, but you didn’t.” I propped myself up on my good arm and turned to meet her eyes. “Instead you stayed with me.”
