This night, Llyud really was getting a good nights sleep. He didn't really have regrets or anything nagging on him. As far as he knew, he had done his best, and Artemis had chosen to throw him out anyhow. So there wasn't much he could do, except for hoping that Artemis would snap out of it. And even if he was having a really good night sleep, he of course still was horrible depressed. He had thought that he and Artemis would be together their entire lives. But it seemed he had been horrible wrong there. But hopefully, when everyone else had emotions, he could forget about Artemis and just move on with life. He had actually spoken about it to a few Aegyl that had been curious about where the crystal had gone. So by morning, there probably would be a few that had destroyed their crystals. A life without emotions wasn't really to live at all. And it had always been the Aegyl's goal, to become 'complete'. So there was no doubt that, most likely, all of them would destroy their crystals now.

But what made him sleep so well, was that he was dreaming. Dreaming about the time where he and Artemis had been sleeping together. It had been so warm and comfortable. So even if he was trying to forget him, he was still dreaming about him. But at least he was dreaming of the best of times rather then the bad times.

In the morning, Llyud was still fast asleep. But the other Aegyl had already been there and left some food for him. It had been weeks since he had some proper food except for fruit and raw vegetables. The elves ate far too little fruit and vegetables.

But oh well. While Llyud was still asleep, some of the other Aegyl was keeping a watch around the mountains. They always had a few that kept an eye out around the mountains, but as the wind was picking up a bit, they headed back to the village for now. They would wait a bit and then go back to keep an watch around the mountains. It was too dangerous for them to keep watch when the wind was picking up.

Llyud had woken up somewhat later, but they of course didn't let him go up into the mountains right now. He was still somewhat out of it. And he had a cold, so he shouldn't even be up right now, but he didn't want to stay in bed all day.

But anyhow. Since the wind was dying, some of the Aegyl headed back up to the mountains to take a good look around. And after they had been flying around for a while, they were just about to head back as one of them spotted something. And at approach, it turned out it was a person. And he seemed to be in an extremely bad condition. He was pale, cold and his lips were blue. So the Aegyl turned to her partner a bit further away, shouting for him.

"There is some one alive over here! Hurry! We have to take him back to the village before he freezes to death!"

Hearing that, the other Aegyl rished over to take a look. It really was a person. And he was still alive. So it was really urgent for them to get him off the mountains now and get him to the village and warm him up. And for the sake of trying to warm him up as much as possible on the way, they both grabbed him, and tried flying as close as possible so that they would keep the elf warm till they got to the village.

And Llyud really was in for a surprise when the Aegyl came off the mountains, carrying some one. Specially when seeing who it was. He was in a complete shock to see Artemis here. Why was he here? Had he been following him? But, Artemis had told Llyud to leave, so why would he be here?
He didn't really care much about that right now though. His friend was in some serious trouble.
Llyud looked at the two Aegyl that had found him, motioning for them to bring Artemis to his house. He would take care of him. So the Aegyl simply did what Llyud wanted them to and brought Artemis to Llyuds home, and helping him with getting the muddy and messy clothes off of him, but after that, Llyud was taking care of him, doing what he could to warm him up. And the best idea he had was to lay down next to him and lay close, hoping he could help him, even after all Artemis had done to him.

Llyud had been up a few times in between before Artemis woke up, and made sure to take care of him properly. Even if Artemis had thrown him out, he still had strong feelings for him. So he didn't want to see him in as much of a mess he had been when he had come in. As soon as he had managed to get Artemis body warm, he had made sure to clean him up and even get the mess in his hair out. And after he had nothing more to do, he had laid down next to him again, really hoping that it wasn't just a dream or anything. If all of this was just a dream and Artemis wasn't there once he woke up, he really would be shattered.

So right now, while he was still asleep next to Artemis, he was holding onto him as if he would disappear if he let go of him. He had actually been really happy, and worried to see that Artemis had actually followed him. He hadn't expected Artemis to actually come at all, so it had been a wonderful surprise. But of course, it hurt to see him almost dead when he got there.
But as he noticed some movement, he opened his eyes somewhat, noticing that Artemis head was turned the other way, and it did seem as if he was awake.

"Artemis...? Are you awake...?"

Llyud just forgot all about what Artemis had done to him and just hugged him tightly when he realized that he was awake. He just hugged him and buried his face into Artemis side, hiding whatever emotion he had now, just happy to see Artemis alive and well. But he was somewhat upset at him to. First he told him to leave, and then he came after him and almost killed himself in the process. What was the matter with him.

"Artemis... You idiot. How could you do that? You almost died! If they hadn't found you in time you would have been dead now!"

He obviously was more upset about Artemis almost getting killed rather then what he had done. But that just showed that Llyud still cared for him. Cared deeply.

When Artemis actually hugged him back and started crying into his chest, he was a bit shocked. But he didn't pull away or anything. He was happy, he was really happy to be with Artemis again. He could barely believe that he actually was there, even if he was hugging him and crying.
Llyud just smiled a bit, moving his arms so he was hugging Artemis around the head instead, rubbing the top of his head to calm him down a bit.

"I know... It's ok Artemis. Just promise never to do something that stupid again..."

He was probably forgiving Artemis too easily. But he had been so depressed and miserable for the last weeks, so he didn't care. He was just happy to have the Artemis he knew back.

Of course he would forgive Artemis for what he did. So he nodded a bit, before pulling away a bit, giving a more clear answer. He gave him a long kiss. If that didn't give Artemis an obvious enough answer, then he didn't know what would. And after pulling away, he pretty much pushed Artemis back down on the bed so he could rest.

"I forgive you, as long as you stay in bed and get some more rest. I can see that you're still tired. And you deserve some rest. Tell me if there is anything you want and I'll get it."

He wasn't sure if Artemis had realized where he was yet. But he probably would, since he was in a real house, and not a tent, and if he got curious, he could simply look out the window that was in the room and take a look for himself to see where he was. And Llyud would be there to help him the entire time.

Llyud really found that to be an odd request. But on other hand. Artemis might look better with shorter hair, so why not? So he would gladly help him with that.
And as Artemis was drifting into sleep again, Llyud made sure to pull the blanket over him, and making sure he was comfortable.

If this was all a dream, he really hoped that he never would wake up. But right now, it all felt so unreal. Artemis had actually come all this way just to have Llyud forgive him, and almost died in the process. And considering how Artemis had been towards him the last couple of weeks, it felt almost too good to be true. But Artemis really was there, wasn't he?
He just couldn't resist the urge to touch him, just to make sure Artemis really was there. And he was. Maybe now things would go back to how they were before Artemis had changed to the worse?

Llyud had actually been sitting by Artemis side the entire time, just waiting for him to wake up. So when he finally did, Llyud watched him as he took a look around. Seems that Artemis hadn't been all too aware of his surrounding at all till now. But it really would be fun to see how Artemis liked being in a real home, in a real village, and all of them being Aegyl.
And if he took a look outside and looked at all the Aegyl, most of them had black or brown wings. Some even gray, but Llyud was the only one with red wings.
So everyone knew him rather well.

But he simply smiled when Artemis asked him where he was.

"You're in my bedroom. In my house, in the only Aegyl village left."

Llyud laughed a bit at that. It was so strange that there was some one didn't know what a bedroom was. Seemed that Artemis had never been in a house at all before. Had he even ever been in a town at all?
Llyud would show him, what he was inside, just to be sure, so he got up and stepped over to him, and pulled Artemis to his feet, wrapping the blanket around him, since he had no clothes right now, starting to lead him to the window.

"A bedroom is simply where you sleep. Aegyl doesn't live in a tent like your tribe does. We live in real homes. Steady and solid and that can't be moved around. So Aegyl pretty much live in one place their entire lives. Just take a look outside."

He said as he showed Artemis the window, opening it for him so he could take a proper look outside and see for himself. Most homes looked somewhat alike. But they were all built that way. But then he would at least know just from looking outside what Llyud's home looked like on the outside. And all homes were rather big. Since all of them were meant to be big enough for those that decided on having kids. Even without emotions, you had to take care of the kids till they could take care of themselves. So, even if Llyud lived alone, he had a home meant for a family.

Llyud smiled a bit, noticing how excited Artemis seemed. Probably was all new to him, so he wasn't all too surprised on how excited he was. And he wouldn't mind showing Artemis around. Maybe he could consider this type of life style for the tribe. Would be allot more comfortable for them all.

"There is a bathroom, kitchen and living room and the hall. Pretty much, everything you walk all over the camp to get to, but under one roof, and comfortable close."

He said cheerfully as he took Artemis arm, pulling a bit. He would gladly show him around.

"Come. I'll show you around the house. You will be here till you recover properly anyhow. Then we will go back to the elves. So tillt hen, you should at least get to know where everything here is"

He told him, rather happy about getting to show Artemis around his home. And even if Artemis seemed a bit depressed about leaving the tribe, Llyud was sure they were fine and that they would forgive Artemis for disappearing for a while. A person should always put his own emotions before others. If you were not happy yourself, people around you wouldn't be either.

Llyud looked at Artemis for a while. He would gladly show Artemis around both his home and the village. But not before he did one thing first. Even if the only thing Artemis was currently wearing was the blanket, he stood behind him, wrapping his arms around him, just resting his head against Artemis back and closing his eyes for a while.

"Artemis. It's so good to have you back. I missed this side of you so badly..."

He most likely would never be able to forget the painful change of Artemis, and how bad of a person he had become after that change. That would be something Llyud would always be careful of from now on, so that it wouldn't happen again.
But it was like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders to have the old Artemis back.

At that last thing, Llyud smiled a bit, or even grinned if you could call it that. And instead of letting go of Artemis, he actually pulled him backwards, making them both fall onto the floor. Llyud didn't want to let go of him just yet. There was something else he had missed.

So, once he had Artemis on the floor, he simply moved so that he was on top of Artemis, laying down on top of him. How much he had missed doing that. It was so cozy to just lay on top of him and listen to his heart beat and feel his breathing.

Afte Artemis had started changing, Llyud hadn't gotten to do that at all anymore.
