[What do you want, and he comes up short- minutes ago, all he could think about, despite Yennefer's light and the proximity of her naked skin, was the endless expanse of time stretching out ahead of him.
The station had seemed so small, compared to what will come. Compared to the suffering waiting just around the corner of his own story. He had been swimming in despair, knowing that he will lose this knowledge did nothing to soothe the agony of knowing it now. The sacrifices he would have to make, the half of him - the better, kinder, more human half - would be left behind. The branches of choice narrowing until all he could do, was cling to them.
Who are you, when no one is watching
When wanting made you weak?
The sting is barely felt, the warm lick of her tongue erasing it as if it never happened. But it did, the offer he had made had been picked up so expertly.]
No.
[There was enough pain waiting, enough suffering to be endured and if this was punishment, it was of the sweeter kind.
Pulling her closer still, close enough to feel every exhale from her lips, the minute shivers underneath her skin when he bends down-
Darkness is nothing new. It lived in him since the day he was born, but this is softer in ways he will only look at tomorrow - if tomorrow comes.
And Aleksander catches her mouth in a kiss, tongue flicking at the seam of her lips.] No blood. Only this- [Whispered almost low enough to not be heard, before he takes deepens the kiss, inhaling her clean scent in a shuddering breath.]
