Figuring that Verse was unconscious yet again, Lilis held him tighter. Apocalypse ran towards the Palace of Renor Crysos. He knew that both his Spawn and his Spawn’s Host wanted him to get there faster. He stopped within view of the gates and shifted. He took Verse from Lilis and Kaie merged back into her. Apocalyse followed Lilis to her room and then left.
Lilis had Verse on her bed. She got a bowl of water and several cloths to clean him up with. She gently pulled his head into her lap to wipe his face. She felt bad for him. Kaie took such good care of her that she never suffered an injury long. Lilis actually felt sick as she scrubbed his wounds to get the dirt and gravel out of them.
Once she’d finished the arduous task of cleaning the wounds, Lilis helped his bone regenerate. This made her bones ache and it felt as though the marrow had been sucked out of them. New bone is better. Lilis reasoned to herself. He can grow new teeth… it will be stronger since it is younger. But there is the high possibility that it will ache occasionally. Lilis shuddered and collapsed off of the bed onto the floor. She was so completely exhausted that she curled up and immediately fell asleep.

He made noises of pain as his skin healed over, but his nose waas now disfigured.
Verse opened his eyes and looked around a few hours later. He put a hand to his nose and sat up. It was aching a lot and tears formed in his eyes.

Kaie was the only one aware that Verse was awake. She merged out and looked down at him.
Hullo little one. Are you feeling better? She asked him as she perched on the end of the bed.

"Much...thanks... uhhhhg..." He put his hands on his nose, "Hod does it look...?"

Lilis will love it. I, personally, don't care. Noses aren't something that concern me, well, not anymore. She shuffled and resettled her wings. It is good that you are doing better. Lilis will be thrilled... once she gets up.

"Whe-...." he stared at Lilis on the floor. He stood quietly and walked over to her, picking her up.

Lilis let out a howl and sprang out of Verse's arms in surprise. She looked at him sheepishly and then blushed bright scarlet.
"Um, sorry. I didn't mean to do that." She said quietly as she inspected the floor.

Verse covered his nose, thinking it scared her, "S-sorry..."

"Why are you hiding your nose?" She asked him suspiciously, taking a step forward. "Remove your hand. I want to see it."

Verse shook his head, scooting from her, "It's fine."

Lilis stepped up to him, poked his side, and gave him a puppy face. “Please?” She asked nicely with more puppy-pouting. “I promise not to make fun of it, if that’s what you’re worried about.”

Verse sighed lightly, then moved his hand. His nose was a little deformed, the nostrils tilting into the right slightly and the bridge grew a bump on it.

Lilis felt his nose and then let her fingers slide down to feel the rest of the scars on his face. Her lips twitched but her face remained inscrutable. She slid her fingers into his hair afterwards and leaned forward to kiss him delicately.
“I think it looks dashing.” She said with a smile and slid her arms around his neck.

He smiled and kissed her back ,"Thanks... if you like it... I'll leave it like this."

She grinned. “Whatever you want to do.”
Well, I think I’ll go talk to Apocalypse some more. Bye. Kaie said hurriedly and fled the room.

"Which is waht you want. Always." He bent and kissed her nose, smiling.

“And what about what you want?” She asked quickly, narrowing her eyes at him. “I can’t be happy if you turn out to be miserable.”

He frowned a bit, knowing he was in dangerous waters. But, he smiled sweetly, "For you to be happy, love me and to always tell me if something is wrong."

Lilis narrowed her eyes more at him. “Nothing for yourself?” Eamen was a jerk. Stop comparing! She thought and focused on Verse again. “What kind of future do you see for yourself from where you stand now?”

"Honey... there is no need to keep searching the furture... there is no need to delv in the past. We... we must look on now, this... There's only us, there's only this.... no other road... no other way, no day but today." He looked deeply in her eyes.

Lilis stepped back and sized Verse up. “Are you a poet? That sounded like a poem, but I’m not interested in poetry.” She waved it off and poked his stomach, stepping close to him again. “I do not see existing that way. I strive for tomorrow, knowing the risks of my existence and know that I may not see it. Life is fleeting. I strive for what I may never have. I strive for the tomorrow and all of the tomorrows after it.”

He frowned deeply, "we may have trouble... you... your ....ugh..." He turned from her and put his hands in his pockets, "Yer missing a lot..."

Lilis folded her arms and backed up until she could lean back against a bed post. She had a brow raised at him as she watched his back. “Enlighten me, please.”

He garled slightly, "The unexaimined life is not worth living. If you keep dancing through without stopping to enjoy it... I don't see why I bother." He gave her a slight bow, "Good day." And he headed for the door.

“The only time I can enjoy life is with children, including my grown ones.” She watched him leave. “That is not what I meant when I said that I strive for tomorrow, with all of its promise. Admitted, my life is very bland and routine, currently, but there is no tomorrow without a today. A now without a plan can lead to grave errors in the future. There is no present without a past and there is no future without both. I can’t dance, so I don’t.
“What joy is there in the present when no one is there? What joy is there to experience if there is nothing to experience it with?” She asked him bitterly. “I suppose, now, the sorrow is mine.”
