[Tovi and Guri have always had a special bond. They were named seconds apart, after all, and stuck together through everything. Until the binding magic and the humans tore them apart. For centuries, until Ben Lockwood found his binding ring in a pawnshop and set him free to go Home.
But he's always felt as if a part of him was missing, without Guri there, and his little brother's prayers and grief have reached Heaven. And it's the most natural thing in the world to go back down, although he's not especially sanguine about his own safety, to offer aid and comfort to his best friend.
Ben's sleeping, and Tovi finds Guri in the darkened library.]
[Guriel's curled up in a chair by the french doors that open out onto the balcony, staring out into the darkened yard at nothing. He's worn down and weary in body and mind -- he can't remember the last time he slept, or really the last time he even rested. Even still and silent like this he doesn't really relax, holding himself tight as a coiled spring, and it wears on him.]
[Tovi's heart cracks right in half to see Guri sitting like that. Three steps across the room, and he's got arms and wings wrapped around him in a tight, tight hug.] Guri.
[Guriel freezes, going impossibly more tense in his brother's arms, not even breathing, because he knows these wings and that voice and they can't be here, they can't.
