[ Lantaa's gaze softens at the expression in his eyes. She knows that look in his eyes. She has seen it, and it seems somehow burned into her very essence, no matter how many lives she is reborn in. Her fingers slide from his as she adjusts to lay atop him, then, they move to cup his face. Her fingers gently rest on his skin as she forces him to look at her.

She is certainly herself, but she is also Althea. While the memories of the past haunt her? She is still aware that this is a new life and not their first lives together. The time passed ages ago and nothing could bring them back. All she wishes from those days is her lives with him as they promised one another. ]

[ Lantaa gently kisses his cheek. ] You're here with me now.
