*He took the salve carefully.*
"I...don't know. I was gone...for a while. But something...happened."
*He rubbed it into his burnt skin gently.*

*Malefica looked up at him, wondering why he was hiding in the shadows, but too polite to comment it.*
"What happened, Icarus?"

"Apparently..."
*He swallowed and lowered his head, annunciating his profile, the small horns in his forehead becoming more apparent.*
"...I was rather naughty."
*His eyes flickered to hers, glowing golden in the dark.*
"Someone did not approve."

*Malefica looked up at him, studying him. At first she looked surprised, then her smile widened.*
"Of course you were naughty, handsome. Why do you think I fell in love with you?"
*She looked up at him, and her eyes started glowing golden as well.*
"Have you forgotten I am part devil, and the Princess of Hell?"

*He laughed, somewhat cruelly.*
"But you fight for Good. That would seem to be the part that pissed Them off."

*Malefica laughed as well.*
"Do you know why I do that, Icarus? The gods, or whatever we call them are so self-righteous and full of prejudice against all the rest of us that I wanted to give them a lesson. I wanted to show them that everything is not just black or just white. Sometimes good persons can be bad, and bad persons can be good."
*She chuckled.*
"They were really pissed off when I turned out to be the best Guardian they ever had."

And when I...chose to be with you.
*Icarus grew silent for a while.*
"I...I am glad you are safe. But...I don't know how I can help you now."

*Malefica looked warmly up at him, longing to touch him. But she knew he would get burned again if she tried. So she had to force herself to stay calm, instead of throwing herself in his arms.*
"I am glad to see you are safe too, Icarus. It broke my heart when I thought you were dead. And you can help me in many ways, just by being here. You know how much I need you."

*Icarus nodded. He understood. Or at least did in a way.*
"But I worry that if I'm around too long...They might take it out on you too."

*Malefica chuckled with laughter.*
"That would be a small price to pay for having you here again. You have no idea how much I have missed you."
*She looked up at him again. The pain of being separated from him, not being able to touch him without hurting him, was showing in her eyes.*

*He frowned. Something was wrong. Well, obviously. But this was something that she didn't want him to know.*
"Are you...certain? I mean, it will be hard on all of you here if I stay."

*Malefica looked up at him with tears in her eyes.*
"The only thing I am certain of Icarus, is that when I saw you turning into ashes, I wanted to die too. I can't live without you. These days without you, I has kept myself alive because I had to take care of the children. Eden is safe, by the way. I am afraid of my mother's spies, so I don't dare to say where."

*Icarus nodded, accepting the little information that she would give. After all, he didn't doubt that she would kill herself again, if pushed to it.*
"Very well, I will stay."

*Malefica smiled warmly and looked up at him.*
"Thank you, Icarus. I would have kissed you if I could, but I don't want you to get hurt. Do you think we can find a way to touch each other without getting burned?"

*Icarus shrugged.*
"I dare not to dream. I am unsure the limitation of this new...situation, but I had to see if you and the children were all right."
