why me?

Isibel spends her last day on the island flying, and then she rejoins her expedition, and packs, and sleeps, and in the dawnlight she gets back on the boat to sail back to the Elven Lands.

She is kept quite occupied with small magics to keep the ship operating smoothly, and also with notebooking - writing quite small, as she brought more than enough notebooks for three weeks but then unexpectedly used many of them to draw and write with the demon and has only half of one left for several days at sea.

They land on the shore of the Elven Lands on schedule, and disembark.

He shakes his head. "Nope. Now that I know what it means, 'your Bonded isn't Tainted' is definitely the last one."

"You're welcome!" says Liselen. "Good luck! Will I distract you too much if I stay here while you do magic to this bush?"

Liselen watches. There isn't very much to see, but he seems content anyway.

"Thanks!"

Nom nom nom.

A day later, the demon wakes.

He snuggles up against the sleeping dragon.

Things are a little more muffled between them, with his dragon-self sleeping. A very little.

"...I don't know if I believe him," he says. "I am a Demon."
endragoned: (⑤ is this love)

"He's right about that much," the demon sighs. "Oh, my love."

He hugs her.

It's not as though he wouldn't have - if he had ever met someone he wanted to be unfit for unicorns with, who also wanted to. But there has never been such a person. There has only been his life in Shadow Mountain, and the long years alone after that. And then the visit from all those dragons, but the demon was not physically a part of that encounter.

"I love you so much," he says softly.

Maybe if he just - tries not to pay attention, tries very hard, tries not to think of anything at all except how much he loves her.

He loves her he loves her he loves her he loves her -

He can't do it forever. He can't even do it for a full minute.

"But he did not say what?"
