105: Zephirin's missing piece (3)

~Zephirin~

The echo of footsteps in the patio drew my mind away from the stars. I cast a lazy gaze in the direction of the distraction. 

My eyes froze on a figure I haven't seen in several months. My tainted Incirion looked better in coloured clothes. I inhaled deeply, his gaze filled with unspoken emotions. 

My snowy cold front melted at the sight of him. His hair was shorter than the last time I saw him. He was stronger and less soft. I set the books aside and put my attire in order. 

It was impossible to look away from him, his eyes glued me in a trance. I spent a long time away from him that i'd forgotten how beautiful he is. 

I could see the fire burning behind his eyes. I flashed him an easy-going smile, I looked down at the sand clock before looking back at him. I had a few moments to spare before Dyrk came back. It was enough time to hear the reason for his return.
