*He quietly flutters up the stairs, carrying @mlp_Skyra. Then he gently lays her down in their soft bed, before moving in for the most epic wing-floof-snuggles there have been in a very long time.*
*He smiles sadly and gently rubs her back.*
I'm sorry, hun...I was...broken....I lost sight of...a lot of things...just...retreating inwards...too deep to really see how deep I was or who I was hurting...
I promise you...barring some sort of...world shattering desperate fight-
*Takes in everything that is @mlp_Skyra.*
Well...I'm back here for awhile. I'll fill you in later. There's lots of work but...I'm better...well...I know who I am again...
And tonight...and for a good...long bit....I just want to be with my favorite mare in the world.
My Minty.
*He gives her a big, equally tired...but very big smile and he scoops @mlp_Skyra into his hooves and plants a kiss on her incredibly far more kissable kissable face.*
*Has since returned to the Ponyville, after making certain @mlp_MoonSt had a nice pod waiting for them.*
*He slips inside the house, wondering if @mlp_Skyra is still awake...hoping she's not...but also worrying he's waking her up.*
*He feels the warmth of the voices in his head again, and for the first real time in awhile, his smile is full and genuine.*
I'll see what I can do in the pod chambers~ *He tells @mlp_MoonSt before he turns and heads back through the dark tunnels.*
*The voices slam into him like a wave and he's suddenly overtaken with a familiar warm comfort that came from the link. A feeling he'd pushed away for fear of missing it too much. But it felt like that had been one of the sources of the sadness that drove him back.* (@mlp_MoonSt)
*Bolt blinks then tries to remember his early very basic link training...back at his conversion, trying to sort out the reknewed wave of different thoughts from his own as he stares @mlp_MoonSt.*
