I just wanna get his stuff wrapped up

RP:

He thought he knew, deep in his bones, that this was coming. With every step down the mountain, with every step away from his home, he was only running faster towards the inevitable, try as he might to escape it. And here they were, on foreign ground, the place they had hoped to make a home...

Well. Nash supposed in a way, they were. He and Aquene would stay here forever.

His chest had ached for several days now, his breath coming less and his energy nearly non-existent. He couldn't keep up with Jessamy, and he was loathe to leave Aquene's side. What was the point? She was the only one who had stayed with him through everything. She was the only one who had never vanished. The only one who had never abandoned him, not even for a moment, not even in their grief.

They were all gone. And if they weren't, they would be.

Nash grieved. He still grieved his mother. He grieved the relationship he'd once had with @Chan and the near hero-worship he'd had of the man. He'd known, then, it would be the last time he saw his brother and yet he'd been so hurtful. Hadn't even told him they were moving. Nash also grieved the his daughters, Sari gone ahead of them, Monatalia off on an adventure, Eclipse fleeing from their tragedy... Magg, his favorite daughter, though he felt guilty to admit it, gone without a word and taking his granddaughters with her.

It had been the last straw, the last heartbreak it turned out his body couldn't handle. Matos had returned, his only son a spot of joy, but it was too little, too late. There was no hope left for Nash or his beloved.

His beloved who now cried beside him. Who whined and struggled to ease out her finals words. He kissed her crown. "I love you too," he murmured as she stilled. Nash groomed her head for a moment, still tucked beside her, then looked up. He ripped his head back and howled mournfully. The world has lost that which he treasured most. Nash looked at the horizon and pretended he could see the mountain. Part of him ached to be there, where he should have been buried with his parents. But he was here, and he would be buried where he truly belonged - at his wife's side.

He kissed her crown one last time. "See you soon, my love," he murmured, then rested his head across her shoulders in a final embrace and followed her into oblivion.
