(There! Baby pie at 927 words. You lot better read it! D<)

 Julie ignored Jaryl and slowly brought herself up to her feet, wandering along the deck to the last piece of armour that was left. She picked it up and hugged it to herself, obviously at a loss of what to do with it.

 Her own armour, which was a light, white shirt over some very basic chainmail and some plain white trousers and leather boots that enhanced her swordwork, hand to hand combat and agility, all clinked together as she moved.

 The Dunmer raised her head, wrapping the material around her hands and nodding to herself with a deep breath. She shuffled over to Sets room, hesitating with her hand on the doorknob just like before…

 ''Tough as nails. Scars to boot…''she thought with a sad smile, pushing down on the handle and stepping inside.

 The room reeked of death.

 Julie instantly felt the tears fall from her eyes almost as soon as she closed the door behind her. She looked at the body of her dead fiancé, still wrapped tightly in the sheet.

 “S-set…” She whispered. Foolishly hoping he’d just jump out and frighten her, as if he was playing some sick game…

 Only, that moment never came.

 ''And it’s never going to… ''

 Julie sobbed, taking a seat by the bed as she rested her elbows on her thighs and sighed heavily, hanging her head.

 “I really miss you…” She whispered, reaching out to his body with a shaky hand, the armour he’d never get to wear hung off the bed next to him. “I hope you’re doing okay in N-namiras realm. I won’t be much longer in rescuing you.” Julie added, her hand aching…

 “Hm?” She asked, tilting her head. “This?” Julie mumbled, raising her bloodied knuckles in front of her. “I-I g-got pissed off with everyone. Th-they’re all acting as if they never knew y-you…” The Dunmer admitted, hanging her head again, pausing as if she was waiting for a reply.

 “I know it takes different people different time!” she suddenly snapped, leaning forward. “B-but it’s only been a f-few d-days and I…” Julie paused, holding her head in her hands as she began to sob.

 “I am just really lonely without y-you here…”

 Julie breathed in, shivering again as her body was racked with pain filled sobs. She slumped forward in her chair, looking defeated.

 “I know. I sh-should be strong. B-but how can I be when my b-biggest strength is g-gone…” Julie swallowed the lump in her throat and gasped, breathing heavily. “Y-yeah. I…I’m g-gonna put that on you…” She replied to the air, pointing to the armour that was left for him.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “Y-you always looked good to me…” Julie whispered, swallowing again and wiping her eyes before she reached out to the sheet, her fingers trembling. “S-set…” She whispered again, closing her eyes and pulling the sheet back, just enough to reveal his top half. Julie slowly opened an eye and instantly raised her hand to her mouth to cover the wails that took her over. Her tears fell thick and fast as she looked upon her Sets mangled face. Julie reached out with her other hand and touched his chest. Even through his shirt, the cold feeling of his dead skin could be felt through the thin material. Julie shook in grief and pulled her hand back instantly, looking at the floor as she tried to control herself.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “T-tough as n-nails…”

<p class="MsoNormal"> The Dunmer blinked rapidly, drawing her dagger from its sheath, wincing as holding it hurt her mangled hand. She took a deep breath, standing up and hovering the blade over Sets chest.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “S-scars to b-boot…” Julie stammered, her voice trembling as much as the knife as she slowly cut his shirt off and pulled it away from him. She paused, staring at his chest as she imagined the many nights they could have spent together in the centuries to come.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Nights that’ll never be…

<p class="MsoNormal"> “Y-yeah. This’ll h-hurt…” Julie agreed, pacing round the room, building up the courage before eventually just going for it.

<p class="MsoNormal"> The Dunmer cried, gripping hold of Sets arms and pulling him up until he was resting on Julies body, his cold head rolling on her shoulder. Julie sobbed harder, pretending she was with him in Crovenhoft as she blindly scrabbled around the bed, breathing in relief as her hands touched the pauldrons of the armour. She pulled it along and tugged it over Sets head with some difficulty. Julie focused on her breathing as she manoeuvred his arms into the sleeves and let the rest of the armour naturally fall over his body. Slowly, the heartbroken girl lay her lovers body back on top of the sheet. She folded his arms over his chest and she unstrapped her sword from her belt.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “I-it was yours originally…” She whispered to the room. “Y-you’re g-gonna need it in h-her r-realm…”

<p class="MsoNormal"> Julie nodded determinedly, placing the sword in his hand. He looked like a knight who had fallen after a great battle.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “My S-set…” Julie sobbed. “My h-hero…” She took a step back, brushing the hair out of his face.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “Y-yeah…” She agreed. “Y-you look amazing…”

<p class="MsoNormal"> Julie reached over, weakly wrapping her Bosmers torso in the sheet again, gently covering his face.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “I love you too…” Julie whispered, standing up and away from the bed. “N-now and forever…” She choked out those last three words, turning and rapidly walking to the door. She pulled it open and paused, turning to the side.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “I-I’ll see you s-soon…” Julie said quietly, stepping out into the airy top deck and closing the door behind her…
