Alear gently slides into her private room, pain clinging to her form as is silently followed by Ivy. Ivy gently closed the door as the noise of the Somniel was cut off. The silence of the private room was immediately overwhelming, Ivy gently took Alear's hand as she slid off her gloves slowly. Ivy began methodically unbuckling Alears armour with reverence sliding off the heavy metal. Alear stood there Guilt burning inside her hands lightly shaking as they fell lifelessly to her side, unable to hold them up. Alear burned with pain as Ivy worked, unable to make eye contact, exhausted clinging to her.
Alear felt Ivy's cold hand on her cheek bringing her attention back to Ivy as they made eye contact.
“Divine one please let me help you carry this burden, let me ease your pain”
Cold tears began to roll down Alear's face as she stood pain burning inside as she longed to cling to Ivy desperate for comfort staring at Ivy. Ivy arms moved down holding her waist gently before gently wiping Alear’s tears
“Forgive my Father Divine one you shouldn’t have to stain your hands with human squabbles.”
Alear tried to choke back sobs as her tears began to fall faster, her arms rising to cling to Ivy as she tried to hold her close as she hid her face in Ivy’s shoulder. Alear's legs felt numb as Ivy guided Alear to her bed, sitting her down.
“Please my Deity You must rest such grief only exuasts the soul"
Alear's tears fell down as she stared at her ceiling, her face felt numb as she felt unable to speak. Ivy stood up rather quickly moving to the side as. She gently held her ring in the palm of her hand. Pain flared up from her chest as she watched Ivy begin to pour her tea.
Ivy quietly walked up to Alear, handing her a cup. The steam gently over gives off a sweet scent. Alear gently took a sip. The tea was bitter and burned her tongue. Ivy gently got down on her knee placing a gentle kiss to her pact ring on her hand.The ring felt as if it burned her hand as Ivy knelt before gently worshipping her. Alear stared forward, her guilt only burning more. Her hand gently cupping Ivy's cheek
“Your pain is mine Divine dragon, I shall do all I can to ease your pain. Rest for now I shall watch over you as you rest”
Ivy gently took the now empty cup from Alear's hand and stepped back allowing Alear to lay her head onto her pillow. The large bed felt cold as Alear watched Ivy walk out of the room standing at her door guarding her rest.
