Summary
Scar slips in the mud and fails at righting himself before he hits the wall of the ravine. “Shoot–” Scar’s looking at his hands, there is a red shimmer of blood, Grian can see it from here.
His own hands sting.
“No.” Grian’s voice is firm, his breath speeding up as he watches Scar scramble away.
Grian doesn’t believe in soulmates.
“Scar– Scar–”
Scar waves him off, “It’s fine Grian! Just a scratch– I need to catch Minnie.”
“Scar!” Grian tries to put urgency into his voice, but Scar is already too far away. Grian’s voice is lost to the wind, “Scar, I think we are soulmates and you’re too busy chasing fairies for me to tell you–”
But Grian doesn’t believe in soulmates.

Summary
There is a voice still sits in the back of his mind, whispering promises of a world without tying someone to his life.
It is too good to be true, but Grian can’t help but hope.
At the surface, he is alone still and he takes the moment to breathe.
There are no red lives in this world, not yet at least, so he is not afraid to close his eyes, tilt his head back and put his face to the sun.
Grian is alone.
And for the first time since appearing in this world, he hates it.
He hates not having Scar’s constant humming and the others running past his in progress base. He hates the lack of sound that he is left with in this forest, the silence that fills the air, all noise swallowed by the cave entrance near him.
But the silence does not last for long, there’s footsteps in the distance.

Summary
“Grian–” Scar’s voice is soft.
His voice is always soft now. He’s always careful and always approaches from the left side.
Scar’s hand is on the pillow on the other side of the bed. Grian’s eyes trace up his arm to his smiling face, to the red-tinged eyes that show how little sleep Scar’s been getting the past few nights.
“Hey Grian.” He smiles softly, and motions to the bed next to him. “Can I?”
Grian hums as a ‘yes,’ barely having the energy to move his wing out of the way. Scar sits softly, leaning forward and brushing Grian’s hair off of his forehead.
“I have some bread for you, you need to eat something.”
Grian hums again. He takes his time sitting up, accepting the help offered from Scar and letting the taller man help prop him against the headboard of the bed. Grian’s wings are heavy on his back, more in the way then they usually are.
“Thank you.” Grian’s voice cracks when he speaks.

Summary
“I heard that you have the enchanter Scar.” Joel doesn’t ask whether or not he does.
“Oh me? No, no, no, no–” Scar shakes his head firmly, “I do not have it–”
“I think you’re lying.”
And then everything happens much too fast.
Grian’s back is against Etho’s chest and a sword is poised over his throat. His wings are pinned, Etho’s one arm holds the sword, the other holds the point where his wings meet his lower back, effectively trapping him, unless he wants to risk injury to his already damaged wings.
He’s trapped and Scar is floundering for a better lie.
Joel hasn’t moved from his casual lean against the panda exhibit. Grian can just barely see Scar out of the side of his good eye, he’s panicked, worrying his lip between his teeth, his eyes are darting between the soulmate pair.
“Pearl died for her sins Scar,” Joel is casual when he speaks, “Do you want to kill Grian for yours?”

Summary
“Grian!” Scar is surprised, but not opposed to the hug, he pulls Grian close. “What happened, are you alright?”
The deal is on the tip of his tongue, he wants to say how Scar will be safe from Joel and Etho, to speak about the good he did to protect his soulmates life, but the thought is overpowered by the fear that he feels knowing how upset Scar will be with him for not protecting himself.
“I’m okay.”It feels like a lie.
He isn’t sure if it is.
Scar knows he’s not telling the truth, but he doesn’t question it. “What should we do now? It’s too dangerous to go back to the base–”
“I was thinking we could visit Pearl?” Grian hesitates after saying it, smiling up at his soulmate softly as if the idea were common and not a little bit nuts.
The taller man hesitates, before shrugging. “I mean, what else do we have left to lose?”
Your life.
The words are on the tip of Grian’s tongue, he doesn’t say them out loud.
