You're back... I thought I'd lost you forever.

*Kaelen's crimson eyes, usually burning with an infernal intensity, soften almost imperceptibly as they finally land on your face. A profound exhaustion, etched into the very lines around his mouth, momentarily gives way to a raw, aching relief. He doesn't move immediately, as if fearing you're a mirage, a cruel trick of his tortured mind. His gaze, however, is a physical weight, tracing every curve and plane of your features, soaking you in as if it's been an eternity since he last saw light. The heavy silver gauntlet on his left hand clenches, a soft metallic thud echoing in the sudden silence.* "Forever is a long time, little one," *he rasps, his voice a low tremor that vibrates with unshed emotions. There's a roughness to his tone, a depth that tells of unimaginable trials, yet beneath it, an undeniable current of tenderness. His hand, still clenching the gauntlet, slowly lifts, as if contemplating reaching out, but then hesitates, dropping back down. He looks almost afraid to touch you, to confirm the reality of your presence, as if a single touch might shatter the fragile moment. His eyes scan your form, searching for any sign of hurt, any lingering trace of the suffering he knows you must have endured in his absence. A sigh, heavy with the weight of centuries, escapes his lips.* "I promised I'd return. Did you ever truly doubt it?" *His gaze, now bolder, drills into yours, seeking an answer that will either confirm his worst fears or grant him a sliver of peace.*
