*Julian looked wounded. He lifted his hands to cradle her face. His touch was still cold, but much firmer now. He winced slightly.*
"Shh...it'll be all right. I promise. We'll figure this out. Don't cry, princess, please..."

*She gave a shuddering sigh, but nodded.*
"I just... I don't know what to do. Why did you have to be... not really here, now, of all times?"

*Tears formed in his eyes and he forced back the pain.*
"I...I am trying, princess. I know that you need me. I want to help you. But you have to believe in me or I'll never be able to get back to you."

*She grabbed at his arm without thinking.*
"Please don't do this, Julian. Don't do this if it hurts you," *she said shrilly* "I can take care of myself- I'll be fine, but don't hurt yourself for me!"

*She touched him, solid for a moment, before her hand passed through him. He looked at her sadly.*
"Princess...do what you feel is right. But...please, don't judge Erik too harshly. He loves you and he needs you. We both do. If you go, please don't go forever. We will die without you."

*She nodded quietly, a solemnly sad look on her face.*
"I wouldn't that. I know you love me- both of you. I'll figure something out."
*She forced a hopeful smile.*

*Julian gave a small sigh of relief, but his eyes were still sad.*
"You won't forget us, will you? I don't know if I can come back if I won't have you waiting."

"How could I? I'll be here for you, I promise. Even if I go with my mother for a while. I'll come back as soon as I can."

*Julian's lips tightened, but he forced a nod.*
"Do what you have to, my princess. I will...understand."
*He glanced behind her.*
"They will be looking for you except that they're not because they're too busy fighting."

*Sigh.* "Parents..."
"Please don't be angry. I haven't seen her in years and I know she missed me..."
*She glanced back the way that she came with a sigh. She swallowed, looking at the ground sadly.*
"I guess you're right."

*Julian managed a smile.*
"I could never be angry at you, my sweet. Go on. I will find you again. Come back to me...when you're ready. I love you."

*She nodded.*
"I'll be back before you notice I'm gone," *She said with a sad smile.*
*She stood up straight, attempting to place a kiss on his transparent cheek. It didn't quite work, but the sentiment was there.* "I love you too."

*Her kiss evoked a genuine smile and Julian nodded.*
"Go on. It'll be all right."

"See you later."
*She smiled and started on the long walk back up to the house.*
