If he had a choice, he would stay in this moment forever. It was just them, nothing else really mattered. Not her tragic story, her violent past. Not the fact that he was a vampire that had to consume human blood to function. They were just two normal people. He didn’t judge her, and she didn’t judge him. It was a strange conclusion to a weird day. But it worked. He felt.. Happy. He was glad she had been the one he had bumped in to. Tomorrow he would have to let her go though. It would be hard, but she had her own obligations. And so had he.

Finding his brother.. It could take years. Fallen Skies was a vast continent. And that was with the expectation he had drifted back here after they got separated. For all he knew, he could have been taken by a ship as well. ”I hope so too”, He said with a soft smile. It would mean the world to him. He feared that without Kaspian, he would never feel complete.

Peace. He had told her he wished she’d find it and in this moment, she felt like she knew what it meant. Finally enjoying company that had nothing to do with any of the struggles in her short life, yet he was not here to judge. Yet he did his best to understand. She did not forget the fact that he was a vampire. She felt his cold skin, the lack of a beating heart as her head rested on his chest. But, it was good. He was alive and he deserved to be. He tried to make the best out of this life. What else could one expect? She slowly raised her arm until her wrist was in front of her face, slowly moved her thumb over the marks he had left.

Lexa smiled when the vampire told her that he hoped so too. “You are a good man, Mort. I am sure good will come to you,” she spoke softly, before once more closing her eyes. She let out a perfectly pleased sigh, as her breathing seemed to slow down a little as she found her temporary bliss.

After today, his life would not be the same anymore. He could feel something had changed within him. After everything she had told him, after all she had shared, he felt even more determined to do the right thing. To always put others first. He had eternity. He hoped he could make a difference in someone else’s life like she had done in his today. The lessons he had learned with Edmund, had been very useful up until this point. Because they were tailored towards behaving himself in certain situations he was confronted with on a daily basis. But what she had taught him, could apply to every and any situation.

When she raised her arm, touched the small but obvious puncture wounds, he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. He should’ve known better. As if she knew, her following words were kind of reassuring. “You are a good man, Mort. I am sure good will come to you,” She said softly. Even after drinking her blood, she still thought he was a good man. He could hear how her breathing slowed down a bit. He guessed that she felt tired, so he only turned his head and pressed a small kiss on the top of her head. He didn’t say anything anymore, so she could fall asleep. It would leave him alone with his thoughts, but he had the sound of the fire to distract him. And, of course, her presence. The most important thing, if you’d ask him.

She should not do what was about to happen. The brunette felt how her consciousness was slowly fading, how she was entering a state of perfect bliss. No worries, no troubles. For once this year she could finally lie down and ignore the problems the world had ready for her the next morning. The fact that she would leave Mort here and perhaps never see him again, because they both had their own matters to take care of, their own paths in life. She tried not to think of it as, strangely, it would make her feel awful. She hadn’t known about the existence of this man before today, yet she would feel the lack of his presence in the next. He had created a safe space for her and she would have to leave that behind. For her people. For his own path. It was as if the Gods had planned against her once more.

She’d feel awful about it the next morning, forcing the young vampire to stay in this position in an effort to not wake her up. But, the woman lost her fight and slowly fell asleep, her head resting on his shoulder and her mind finally at peace.
