( Wrath is unsurprised when Emilia falls asleep as soon as they have made it to the safety and privacy of their own room. He could sense the exhaustion inside of her body especially after that final fight in Hell. In the end, she still has her mortal heart, and it means she is susceptible to exhaustion in a way he is not. However, even he is not immune in this world, exhaustion is felt by him as well though he stays awake for longer. He lies beside her with her body pressed up against his own, watching the peacefulness on her face as she falls into that deep sleep. His fingers slip through her hair. His hand traces the shared tattoo on her arm, gold gaze drinking in the sight of her: safe, here, his.
She looks beautiful. Hell is closed. Alem is being left far behind. And she was so like Fury against Haiva, in Hell - in ways he doesn't know he has ever seen before. Does it feel like hers still? Does she wish to reject it entirely? Do pieces of memory come with those moments? The curse is infuriating in its uncertainties.
Wrath falls asleep shortly after these questions weigh on him, while he marvels at the fact that regardless of the curse, he has found her again and she chooses him without the memory. She chooses him even with her mortal heart.
When he wakes a few hours later, e looks through the missives sent within their group, including the frustrating reminder Hatisse remains with them. Wrath does smile briefly thinking of what Emilia would have to say should she see that particular conversation. He does love her anger.
It takes time, but he can sense the moment when things start to shift and her sleep becomes lighter like she might wake up soon. It is the only reason that might pull him away from her: when she wakes, she will be hungry, thirsty, and that certainly will not do. Wrath steps away to find food - aware the staff would serve it to them in their room, but he favors taking it himself so they can keep their privacy. It's become precious in its rarity.
And so that is the reason he is not there when she wakes up, having left a note behind: Bringing a proper meal - S. )
