Outside Pegasus House: Sorin and Dana
Dana nearly burst into tears again when she saw Sorin's spirit amongst the others that joined around Mr. Cavanaugh as he played his music and sang. It felt like an eternity. Yes, Neculai had his face and even many of the tattoos, but he wasn't Sorin. Sorin was before her and when their eyes met, she felt tears welling in them but she was smiling as she saw him. She felt a hand next to hers grasp hers tighter, not sure who it was but knowing they could tell that Dana was elated at the sight of Sorin.
The ceremony ended and Dana was immediately by Sorin, Valentin joining them on their journey to the festivities. The first stop was at Pegasus house but before entering, Dana asked Valentin if she could speak to Sorin privately. Once they got into Pegasus and joined the spirits there and then the rest of the night's fun, there wouldn't be much time for Dana and Sorin to really speak. And she had things she wants to say, questions, she wanted to ask, and perhaps a little closure now that she could speak to him.
The two stepped away, still outside but out of the way and with only the trees that were already shedding most of their plummage for company. Dana wished she could touch Sorin. She looked at his hands and then over his face. And now the tears that threatened to escape before fell freely, "I miss you."
