Without a moment of hesitation, Lysia launched at Bane, and he smiled, catching her with ease, even though she hit him like a freight train. The world around them both disappeared for the next thirty seconds as Lysia drank in every part of Bane that she could, and Bane did the same. When they finally parted, Lysia's eyes were glossy and she had a smile that could melt steel.
"I am glad you are back!" She said and kissed Bane again before resting her head on his chest.
"What do you think? Was I gone long enough to make you realize that I wasn't joking about never leaving you?" Bane asked, but Lysia just shook her head.
"No, but I don't like being away from you, and now Nina wants you. Why did you have to leave? Can you just tell everyone no?" Lysia asked, and Bane laughed.
"I am sorry, but you know why I had to leave," Bane said, looking past Lysia at Nina, who was still standing there with her spear and shield.
