body div#devskin0 hr { }
It had been two hours, and Ridge had stayed by her side the entire time. He softly dabbed her head with the wet cloth. She hadn't moved, but the taint had, it had slowly crawled up the side of her neck and had now began to move to the bottom of her cheeks. Her pale, fragile cheeks. He watched as her eyelids flickered slightly, Notch knew what was going on in her mind, what twisted things the taint made her perceive.
The others had gone home shortly after they had arrived, Ridge had agreed to help, and told them that they didn't have to worry, besides, with the rate the taint was spreading across Xevphera, he didn't want to risk it spreading to the others.
He looked down at her again. Peaceful. He wondered how long that would last. He stroked her cheek with his thumb before tucking some strands of her light blonde hair behind her elven ear. Her earnings jingled lightly, he smiled. He didn't understand why he felt so calm when he was around her, but he just did. He didn't feel like he had to be someone he wasn't around her, he could be his normal self, just, simply Ridgedog. The reaper.
Perhaps if things continued this calmly, and Xevphera could manage to shake off the effects of the taint... He could be himself a lot more often. They could both be themselves a lot more often.
But just as this thought crossed his mind... Xevphera began to wince in pain.
