There was a muffled whoosh of displaced air as Ren appeared in Lilith's cell, the cold, damp air of the underground chamber barely registering to him.
The moment he appeared, Lilith's head snapped up, her eyes widening in surprise before softening with relief.
"Ren." She scrambled to her feet, the chains affixed to her legs clanking as she rushed toward him, arms outstretched. "What happened? Why are you back so soon?"
He met her halfway, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her close. "I found something."
She disengaged from the hug, leaning back to stare up at him. "What happened?"
Ren grinned at her. "My Bloodbinding is gone."
Lilith's brows rose in confusion. "Gone? What do you mean? And why are you smiling like that's a good thing."
"Because it is." He explained, his grip on her tightening slightly. "With Bloodbinding gone, I don't use blood anymore. But what you did to stop me from dying, it gave me something else. Soulbinding."
