It doesn't take her long to find him. 

The night sky is clear of clouds, allowing the twinkling stars to refract light off the freezing lake. Winter is fast-approaching, and with each blow of the wind Rou shivers. He sighs solemnly, thinking of his Tephra home, constantly warmed by the towering volcano. But as Aurora approaches him, her delicate cadence dancing off his ear drums, he feels the chill in his bones heat up slightly. He turns to face her, giving her a soft smile. 

"I promised I would...I'm sorry it wasn't sooner." He says, inching closer to her. He can sense some lingering sadness in her voice, and he looks into her eyes. Even in the dark of night, he can see that they are watery. His brows furrow and he pulls her into a comforting embrace. "What's wrong? What happened?" He asks. He allows her the room to step away if she wants, but his head drapes around her neck so that she is against his broad chest. He silently wonders if Phoebus had found her, if perhaps the meeting didn't go as well as he had hoped and that's why she was upset. Or perhaps, he hadn't found her at all yet, and she was sad for another reason. 

Diable Rouge allows her the room to vent, listening quietly. 

I'm learning how to put the pieces back together, turn the aching to composure
