Her comment was unexpected, for he expected something cold and bitter considering their meeting.  A small ghost of a smile touched his lips and he nodded at her words.  "I...always did enjoy learning," he smiled wider and gave her a nod.  "He taught me well, and he will always be in my memory, and perhaps that is enough."

"I..." she began, uncertain on her words, but feeling the need to add. "I'm sorry for your loss." Which might sound strange coming from a woman who ought to be dead! Her eyes then searched his as they were both paused now upon the road, before an Inn.
"I know you're trying to help me Merric... but I... I have to go."
TO where? She couldn't tell him. She was a ghost, remember? But how could she explain herself? SHe should have been in he grave, not here, talking with a past lover,.. in the rain....

His head felt heavy with shame, but he could only nod at her words.  "I-I understand," he said.  "We cannot linger here much longer, but...perhaps...we could...have a parting meal.  Together?  The inn is right here.  It's cold and wet and the roads are slippery.  And someone else would be bound to run into you on the road that isn't me.  Then we may part.  And I never saw you."

At his words, her eyes wavered.
"I'm sorry, but I can't."
Even as faint as she was, she could not accept it. It was too risky as it were. "But please.. do me but one favor, Merric." She said, looking up into his eyes. "Please forget you ever saw me. No one can know I'm still alive."A nd as her eyes read his, she added in but a whisper, "Besides..w ho would believe it?" And a few hot tears slipped out from her eyes.

He nodded again.  He knew it was to be done and it was a longshot at best, after all they'd been through together, and after all they'd been through apart.  "I will," he nodded to her.  "But...before I go."  And he said nothing more as he suddenly surprised himself and stepped in close to her.  He didn't ask her, didn't warn her, only did it.  His powerful arms swept around her and lifted her clear off the ground, embracing her to him in a hug he hadn't given another in a long time, what felt like an eternity.  "I'm sorry, Attie," he whispered and let her go at last.  And moved back toward his horse.

Through the hug memories came crashing through her, even as she lost her breath. Her eyes were wide, and her tears were frozen, and it took her some time to melt back into reality as she turned towards him and reached for his hand.
"Merric..."
and then she stepped forward and kissed his lips, softly, sweetly before pulling away and looking into his eyes. "A kiss to remember me by." And she peered up at him as the rains fell between them, tears still streaming down her face.

Merric could feel the water dripping from her face onto his and he lost his breath a little at the sensation of her lips on his, a sensation he'd long since forgotten and was amazed at the feeling.  He gasped at her, having been untouched in so long.

He wasn't sure he could let her go so easily, and he hated himself for his uncertainty.  But instead he leaned forward and grabbed her face with his gloved hands and gave her a deeper kiss, more passionate than he could remember.  "No," he whispered, pulling away at last.  "That's what I want to remember."  And then moved back toward his horse.

The kiss brought back so many feelings and emotions that once laid buried from long ago. A heat.. a fire, long since turned to ash, but reignited in the way his lips crashed unto hers, and the way he held onto her to deliver that final blow.

Goodbye..
Parting had never been such sweet sorrow, but there she was, standing in the rain, watching him move to leave her. She didn't stop him, merely stared at him with a numbness which could not be mistaken with the cool stinging of the rain. No.. this was something deeper stirring, memories becoming unlocked- and like the slow cranking of a music box, she felt something being turned within. The song that wanted to burst out, she held in reserve, her eyes flashing to his questionably, asking more than her lips ever could.
And also, speaking her curiosity and uncertainties on this goodbye.

Though she did not reach for him when she could, she merely stared into his face and held a breath-
and waited for it to be his time to make his leave.

That moment hung in the balance and it would stay burned in his memory for the longest time.  He just breathed as he took his horse and pulled it from the stables.  The animal chuffed and took his weight as he climbed onto the saddle and peered back at her, bounding off down the road.

She watched him go, and hated herself for it. So many memories brought back, only to be torn away because she was 'dead'. As his horse continued down the road, nearly disappearing, she found her eyes clouding with tears and simply standing there, watching him until he had gone from her sight.
Now, the long trek home would begin- another five hour walk that felt like ten.
