[Cheyenne didn't even have to feel the other side of the bed to know something was amiss. Alf wasn't there. He wasn't in bed sleeping beside her and he wasn't in the room. She couldn't even sense him in the apartment...!]

[Which obviously meant she had to go find her wayward husband. In seconds, she's out of bed and out the door, only taking a moment to remember her shoes and not even bothering to change out of her pajamas.]

[Unfortunately, in her hurry, she forgets that running and blindness don't mix. She's only outside for a few minutes before she trips and falls on her face. Gdit.]

[hakoiri]

[Similarly, Alf had dashed out of the apartment the moment he registered the lack of Cheyenne's presence. Never mind waking up in a place that's most definitely not his. She's missing, and his first priority is to find her. Already dressed in decent casual wear, he has no trouble running about in haste for that petite figure.

Well, he doesn't run for long. He spots her on the ground. His heart skips a beat as he's overwhelmed with concern. He's by her side in a flash.]

C-Cheyenne! [Here his voice softens. He doesn't want it to sound like he's yelling at her.] Are you okay?

[mmmfilletofsoul]

[Cheyenne could sense Alf approaching before she even heard his voice, and once she feels him close enough, she pulls herself up and rests on her knees.]

I woke up alone. It was... an unpleasant feeling. [She was worried, but more than that, she was lonely. Did he leave intentionally? Did something happen? She didn't know. And she didn't like not knowing.]

...may I embrace you?

[hakoiri]

I imagine it must have been. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I have no idea how it happened . . .

[And he means all of it. At her question, his look of concern reshapes into a soft one. He smiles.]

You don't even have to ask.

[Then he wraps his arms around her and holds on, gently but also firmly. So what if they're in public; if Cheyenne wants to hug in her pajamas, then she can do just that. He's not going anywhere, now.]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

[Cheyenne does the same, resting the side of her head against his chest. She still feels cold, that's only thing about her that will never change, but the longer she holds onto Alf the warmer she starts to feel.]

[And then she didn't let go for all 10 days of the event.]

...shall we go home? I imagine it must be chilly for you, seeing as it is still quite early. [That and she's very aware that she has icicle hugs.]

[hakoiri]

[That makes things kind of difficult, wife.

Despite what she says, he holds on silently for a little longer. Even then, he doesn't let go. Not in the slightest. It doesn't matter how cold it is, be it from the weather or from her -- none of that matters because he's happy to be doing this.]

Mm, it's not that bad. [To the earlier bit:] If you want to. Shall we?

[mmmfilletofsoul]

[Cheyenne nods slightly before moving to stand. She hesitates only a moment before pulling out of the hug, but manages to slide her hand down his arm and holds his hand instead.]

[She's probably going to latch on again once he's standing anyway.] I suppose stranger things have happened in the village than our being separated in the middle of the night. Although that does not make it any less inconvenient, does it?

[hakoiri]

[Don't make me pull out the troll.

Alf lets her do as she pleases and puts his other hand over theirs when she grasps it. He chuckles.]

No, it doesn't. But we've found each other, so that shouldn't be a problem anymore.

[He rises, slowly to not accidentally break physical contact.]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

[/MAKES YOU]

[And once Alf is on his feet, she wraps an arm around his waist and hugs his side, keeping just enough space between them so they can still walk.]

...regardless, I do hope it does not occur again. [Her grip on his hand tightens just a bit.] I do not like being apart from you, Alf.

[hakoiri]

[SPOILED GAL.

Both gestures are more welcome than anything, and he squeezes back when her grip on his hand becomes firmer.]

Nor do I from you, Cheyenne. I promise you, it won't happen again.

[mmmfilletofsoul]

[jhedhwedjw.]

It it unwise to make a promise you cannot keep, my darling. [It's not like they could control the weird happenings of the village.]

However, I am at the very least confident that no shift could keep us separated for long.

[hakoiri]

[That could have been what you woke up next to. Could have been.]

But I can try, can't I? You know I will.

[He nods. He'd make sure of that much, at the least.]

Now that's a promise we both know we'll be able to keep no matter what!

[one_green_eye]

[he knows you've got Alf, and all. Alf is all very well. But that doesn't mean he has to count on him....

Your call function is ringing, Cheyenne. u_W]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

[You know, these journal things would be so much more useful if she could see them. Who is calling and interrupting her time with her Alfy? :|]

Yes?

[one_green_eye]

[a slightly relieved, very familiar voice] Ahh. Hey, are you alright?

[mmmfilletofsoul]

Ah, Ginko. [Her voice softens just a bit, but her expression is as blank as always.]

Yes, I am all right. You are referring to this morning's shift, yes?
