[Vanyel's absence was brief and likely unnoticed, but he has returned...changed. His once black hair is now mostly white and his eyes are a much paler grey. He is sitting on the floor in his room with his back to the wall. Every inch of him says "don't touch me", yet something prompts him to open his Locket and use it.]

Why did you bring me back? What use am I...here? Without Yfandes? Without Stefen?

[His pillars have been ripped away and they expect him to stand; to fight?!]

I could kill whomever you wish. [There is something distant in his eyes. His heart can't handle the guilt of his actions.] I could drop them into the bowels of the Drabworld and leave them to suffocate.

Is that what you want of me? [He's beyond tears and out of answers.]

Neither do I. [He smiles softly, alluringly.] I'm fond of the night you convinced me.

How fortunate. So am I.

I love you the way you are - young, persuasive and stubborn.

Well, I hope you'll still love me when I'm old, persuasive, and stubborn.

Without a doubt. I look forward to seeing you grow. [He presses his lips to Stefen's forehead.]

Do you?

Without a doubt. I'll love you young or old or anywhere in-between.

That is wonderful to know.

What about you, hm? Will I hold your heart even when I'm old and feeble?

Always.

You say that now.

I'll say that forever, love.

I will never understand you.

I'm not that difficult to understand.

On that, love, you are wrong. [He breathes a kiss over each of Stefen's palms.]

How so?

It's remarkable that someone - anyone - could reach me and bring me this much happiness.

Well...I suppose that is true.
