"Every chance I get," *he said, shaking his head with a grin.*

"I doubt that."
*With a smile, she held close to him, ignoring the fact that midnight was fast approaching.*

*Tony bent, slipping an arm around her waist to pull her close as he kissed her deeply. Distantly, a clock began to chime the midnight hour in deep and heavy tones.*

"What?" *he murmured hoarsely, startled and disturbed by the sudden shift. A chill entered his soul as he felt, somehow, that he was already beginning to lose her. Again.*
"No," *he said firmly, tugging her back into his arms.* "No," *he repeated in a whisper, burying his face in her hair.*

"Tony, you can't stop it," *she said with what was almost a laugh.* "You'll be alright."

"So I'm supposed to just LET YOU DIE?" *he hissed, tangling his fingers in her hair.* "Teleute...I couldn't bear to see you hurting...even for an instant."

"Tony, ssh. Stop it."
*She put a cool, calming hand on his face.*
"I've never felt the need to."

*His eyes fell shut and he took a shaking breath. She was already fast losing the warmth of mortal flesh, it seemed.*
"Don't you feel it now?" *he asked softly, still holding her, gently rubbing her back.*

((Old chat?))
"Of course I do," *she said with a sigh.* "But I can't stop it, as much as you can't stop your own death."

"Try. Please." *He whispered, resting his forehead against hers.*
