Ingram was turning out to be rather... playful. He could turn anything into a game and then that game into something perverted.

Like tag.

If Ingram ran, he’d find a spot to hide and tackle her since there was no way she’d be able to keep up with him. If she ran, using her Phantom form to get away and hide her scent, he’d tackle her when she was physical.

Both times ended in her being tackled in his four-legged form, and being thoroughly taken by his cock while he was more monstrous.

She embraced it all, especially since it seemed to be healing him of Aleron’s loss.

They were both better after seeing their loved ones again in Tenebris. Although she knew she’d never see Gideon unless she truly died again, it was nice to know he was in a place where he wasn’t alone, scared, or confused. He was resting in peace, with his happiest memories.

Ingram was under the belief that, although there was nothing he could do to bring back his kindred, Aleron would find a way to return to him.

Emerie didn’t know if that was true, but she fed his hope. Who knew? Maybe he was right. He’d been able to do the impossible and go to the afterlife and come back.

He’d even brought her with him.

In the meantime, Emerie knew one thing for certain.

Ingram needed someone to give him purpose, to guide him where to go, even if it was truly nowhere. He needed someone to make him feel like he wasn’t alone by pressing up against their body as much as he could.

He didn’t want to remain within the permanent ward he’d accidentally put down, even though it bordered the other Duskwalkers’ territories. It was right up against both Magnar’s and Faunus’ wards – and smaller since it’d tried to form over them and failed. Their wards were there first.

It’s sad he doesn’t want to stay with his brothers.He was used to freedom, to roaming the world as he pleased, and tying him down to one location kind of freaked him out.

He wasn’t ready to settle.

But that’s okay.Emerie didn’t mind. She would love to get to know the other couples she’d met and become part of their little community. She’d adored Reia, Delora, and Mayumi, and could see them truly becoming friends she could count on for anything, but they had time.

An eternity of it, so long as nothing bad happened.

For now, we’ll just go anywhere we want on a whim.

The direction she pointed, would be their heading.

But we’ll visit often,she thought with a smile, burying her face into the side of Ingram’s chest. She caressed the rib bones protruding from the outside of his body.And one day, we’ll build our own home and fill it with everything we’ve found along the way.

Until then, they would be two lost souls who were wandering the world, but were loved and constantly intertwined.

Free, and without responsibility.

That sounded perfect.
