...this is a terrible idea.

I'm used to it here; the darkness doesn't bother me, the silence is now comforting, the chill something I bear without notice. But you! You want to send me back. You want me to follow him into the light and then tear me from him for your own amusement - oh, yes. You call them "games" for good reason, despite your nonchalance. The subject matter shouldn't be taken lightly.

I am not your muse. You should rethink this.

[A shiver runs through him as well as he slips from inside her, pulling back from the kiss only to catch his breath and lean his forehead against hers.]

[diffident_light]

You make my body sing.

[Their breath mingles, her eyes closed as they hold one another.]

Would that we could stay here.

[golden_lyre]

[He keeps his eyes squeezed shut, and his arms tighten around her.]

If I never let go, how can you be taken from me?

[diffident_light]

[Her arms wind around his neck, fingers sliding into his hair. Her lips find the corner of his mouth and she drops a gentle kiss there.]

Then hold me, for I would gladly spend forever in your arms.

[golden_lyre]

[His lips quirk up in a faint smile.]

For as long as I am able, my love.

[diffident_light]

[Hers is much cheekier.] If I remove my girdle, all I need do is bind your hands behind me.

[golden_lyre]

[His shifts to match, and he leans up toward her a little.]

Well, if we must...

[diffident_light]

Oh, I think we must. I refuse to let you go.

[golden_lyre]

Then I would gladly be bound to you.

[He laughs softly.]

Literally this time.

[diffident_light]

We might find walking difficult. But I believe it's a worthy price to pay.

[golden_lyre]

We would adapt quickly enough. Or never walk again.

[diffident_light]

I'll find another way to dance.

[Her lips meet his in a joyful kiss.]

[golden_lyre]

[He has to break the kiss from grinning.]

I like it best when we dance together.

[diffident_light]

As do I. You have an appeal I simply cannot resist.

[She grins in return, shifting to sit more firmly in his lap, her legs around his hips.]

[golden_lyre]

And you give me a gracefulness I have with no one else.

[He kisses her again, laughing against her lips.]

[diffident_light]

I love how you move with me.

[She kisses each laugh as it leaves his lips, catching them for herself.]

And I love you.

[golden_lyre]

And I you, my love, my heart, my life.

[He kisses her once for each epithet and once more after all of them, sweet and lingering.]

[diffident_light]

[And that's a perfect ending to their reunion; Orpheus & Eurydice, together at last.]
