[When Corvus steps back, it's like he's moved miles from her. An ocean away, a world away.
It's not what she wanted. She knows that he had said it was temporary, she knows that she had asked him to stay, and he hadn't said yes. Not really. But she was hoping against hope that one day, he wouldn't run away. Not like this. That fear wouldn't get the best of him, that being human would be worth it in the end. That maybe her own presence would be enough to make him linger.
Apparently, it wasn't.
She steps forward, trying to find the emotion in his eyes which had drained so quickly. His words are blunt, cold. Harsh.]
