He missed her. It'd been too long, and he missed his wife.
When it came to be Their Time in the place where her body was, he drew himself to her. Standing before her now, he smiled as he laid eyes on her.... and then stopped dead, his smile freezing on his face.
...... What. Did she. DO?!
"Nyx!" he exclaimed.
Her hair was a dark beautiful mass of curls and spikes and unique curly-qs, and it was. all. gone.
All of it!
His inital reaction was to create illusion of hair, but it wasn't enough.
She hadn't been attuned to his presence, and so his voice took her utterly by surprise. Her eyes snapped open with a start, and she looked up at him with a smile.
"Hullo, Ere," she greeted him warmly. Her mien was utterly relaxed, despite the initial startle he gave her.
She rose from the lotus position and stood, then walked over to him and kissed his cheek.
"Your nuns," he said, his voice very low, "Are right, after all." What he was feeling couldn't be called anything other than 'suffering', and it had been based off his desire for her. Her desire for him. Her desire for others. He understood all of that.
But he was her husbandHe hadn't looked back at her. Her hands caught him and caught him by surprise at that, enough to keep him there for a moment or two.

"No," she said, and so he did not go. He let her hold to him, rather than simply disappear. But he wasn't there with her. Nyx's gaze held his eyes with hers, Nyx's hand touched his fingers, his face, the back of his neck, his hair, and he let her. But he was fragmenting inside, and he couldn't let her see, so he shut down. Just. Shut. Down.
Because it wasn't just sex that he was asking for. Had it ever been just anything between them? No. It was a joining he wanted from her, a reassurance that they still belonged to each other. A reminder that, despite everyone else, he was still her Ere, still her tricksey beast, and Erebos needed that. She was gone for mortal lives at a time, and he made it through because sometimes, sometimes, when they were all alone, he could sometimes touch her and be with her and know, know that she was his. He was hers. They were theirs.

"Not much, really, Ere - I was meditating. I'd been at the last convent too long, so it was time to move on."
She was quite puzzled by his behavior.
"What ever is the matter?"
