[ Perhaps that is part of why it is not so easy for him to pull himself up and out of the memories from the past. He wishes to be present with Lantaa, but also to have more stolen moments with Althea, since their time together was cut short. How can his own memories exist alongside his present? How was it that Lantaa was able to blend them together, when he cannot seem to? Perhaps that is simply how it must be, in light of who he is now. But he does not wish for that to be so.
And now he finds himself pulled between that older, ancient life, and this present life, with little idea how to connect them. He does not speak, but he leans willingly into the kiss, wanting to memorize how this feels so that he can bring it to mind when they are apart. And perhaps if his memories of her are strong, they will somehow guide him back to her even as he goes into situations of danger.
Words seem difficult to form for now, so he settles for the more physical expression of communicating: pressing himself into the kiss and moving one hand to tangle lightly in her hair. He does not tug or pull on it, only feels it beneath his fingers, also committing those feelings to memory. He has already all but memorized her, but he only wishes to ensure that he has the strongest possible memories available to call upon when the need finds him. ]
