Coheed and Cambria

There were two people that were allowed to take up residence in the Manor atop the hill in Minatumi, and one of those people was now dead. Or at least so far gone from the world nobody could get the slightest wisp of where she was. So Hvit did occasionally drop in by Garganta to make sure that nobody else tried to take this septer. And also to keep the place looking nice.

What she would do if she found someone in this place was...a question. Shadin would be mad if she ate someone, or killed them. Probably, she'd just scare them off. She was a terribly powerful Hollow after all, her spiritual pollution was great for making people go weak at the knees. And not in the way Hvit's fingers did.

"Welcome home, darling. Do you want a bath first, or dinner?"

Hvit's gentle words were tinged with a tease, the ionic words of a housewife greeting her partner after a long day. Of course, Elyss wasn't all interested in the third offer of the three, so it was left off the table. Here she stood, the only one allowed in this manor now Calypso had departed. Despite the terrible last meeting, Hvit would not throw away a lifetime of friendship just because of that.

Looking over, with sulphur eyes and a heavy presence, Hvit was silent. Not commenting on the Captain's Coat, nor Elyss' presence in general. Just, waiting.

In a less serious situation, Hvit might have teased Elyss, but right now was a serious situation Her heart swelled, not only for the lost friend, but for Elyss, who was so forelorn.

"Yes. I..." Hvit would look away, to the ground. "I couldn't watch my other half die. Not again. I did it once, and that was more than enough. So Ulv let me go, sent me into the world to find other people that needed my help"

Hvit would then step forward, towards Elyss. Graceful and sublime, she moved with a familiar gait, and would reach out to stroke Elyss' cheek if allowed.
"And it looks like you are one. Please, talk to me, if you want. Or feel able"

"What Queen lets her subjects struggle alone?" Hvit asked, looking into the dark, clouded eyes and seeing such negativity. Her Hollow must be having a field day - not that Hvit could sense anything of that inside her. Maybe she got it sealed away. Stroking Elyss' cheek some more, Hvit would drop her hand down to Elyss', taking it and gently pulling her into the Manor.

"Indeed it would, dear. So come, you look exhausted. Rest here for the night, we'll cook you breakfast in the morning, and then we will deal with life from there. One step at a time, it's how Mirja got through the darker moments of her life"

"Yes. Sleep. You, here. Right now. I do not sleep. Nor did Ulv, at least she didn't need to. She often did for the sake of passing the time or occasionally if the sun was out. At least, she didn't need to until.." Hvit would trail off and shake her head, not wanting to get into that right now.

"You look like you haven't had a proper night's sleep in a long time. I kept the manor in good condition, so the bed is ready to go. Please, just get some rest" Hvit asked. It was quite a shock to see her asking rather than commanding or convincing with a silky tone and mental pressure. It was a real showcase of her feelings towards Elyss. And the memory of Ulv...
