guilliman: (weight)

It's the strangest warp incursion Guilliman has endured since his -- return. Since fighting his way out of the dreams and nightmares of the Void, escaping first to more familiar hells, and then back into the material realm.

(It has changed him, his time in that strange little daemon world and his long quest back. It has broken him and made him more whole. It has also severely troubled his sons and the custodes who still think that he needs guarding. Their practicals do not match these new theoreticals.)

The incursion is barely a corridor's worth of torn reality, a cold darkness and a font of misshapen arachnid beasts -- but the familiarity of it has wild hope clawing at the primarch's throat, has him disregarding his ever-stressed guards and taking point to take care of the disruption.

And how fortunate -- thank the Throne! -- that he has, for he knows that his sons would not react with temperance and reason to a mortal suddenly toppling out of the warp, rift sealing shut behind him. He, though, he sees the lean frame and the long white hair and he's moving, quenching the flames of his Father's sword even as he bisects a last arachnid, and reaching, grasping. Catching. Pulling close, with a strangled cry.

"Terry."

He falls back, clutching the man to his armor. Allowing his sons to clean up the remains of the incursion, now that the rift has sealed. (Though many of them are distracted by their gene-father's unusual behavior for entire fractions of a second -- they'll be chastized for that later.)

"Terry," he repeats, hauling him up into his arms, dragging him close to cover his lips with his own. "Treasure." (If this is a farce, he'll make whatever is wearing his Argentum's face suffer in ways even the Ruinous Powers cannot conceive of.)
