The Myrrs snuggled in close to Shive as he pulled them into a hug, their own wounds forgotten in their joy that the dragonkin had once again triumphed over death, even if it was with help.
"Thank god... your alive... I don't know what I would've done without you..." Myrr choked out, her sobs now of happiness instead of sorrow.
"damnit! You had us freaked out back there! You really have to stop dying!" Xeno exclaimed, but otherwise snuggled in like Myrr did.

Shive gave a slight laugh as he nuzzled them, replying to Xeno's statement,
"Heh, I'm sorry... and if I could stop doing so, believe me, I would... dying hurts!"
He sighed, burying his face in-between theirs.
"Not as much as the thought of being forced away from you two, though... I'm so thankful for being able to stay..."
He sniffled, keeping his face where it was for several more minutes, then pulled it away as he looked at the last rays of the sun.
So very thankful... and... if I understand... I've gotten something that will keep me here for much longer... He thought.
He issued a happy sigh, never letting up his grip on the two snuggling against him.
"I'm kinda tired... I'm sure you two are as well..." He muttered, smiling as he brushed back Myrr's hair.

(OOC: I'll just hand wave that as Myrr taking her helmet off sometime after the fight was said and done and before Shive got revived.)
Myrr nodded, shoulders sagging somewhat as she did so.
"Yeah... very tired... fighting those elementals took a lot out of both Xeno and I..."
Xeno hissed lowly at the mentioning of the elementals, and fidgetted somewhat.
"Hate those damn things... unless they're on our side..." the hybrid muttered.

Shive fidgeted a bit at Xeno's statement, and after an unsure grumble, he replied,
"Well... they're not on anyone's side, really... those elementals were working for something called the Urathear. They're essentially the voices for the seven elements, as you saw with those seven armored elementals; they were Urathear Avatars."
He leaned back slightly and sighed, trying to figure out how to word the rest.
"They... didn't actually want to kill you or myself, they just needed to spur me onto showing how determined I was... that doesn't mean I don't resent them for harming you two, though..."
He abruptly gave a small laugh, muttering,
"I don't think I've ever been wanted that badly for something in a long time...! Heh... but I guess the point is, it's over, we're all safe... but tired. I also see Xeno has a new set of duds as well! I assume one of you made it?"

Xeno sighed to herself. "Actually, O'Malley made it. The suit's meant to help keep control of my Phazon problem... Not to mention I almost fried out the old PED with my acid blood... O'Malley took care of replacing it while he was at it. Said that if I went another week, I would have lost it... which meant the Phazon would run rampant again... yeah..."
"Anyways... why don't we head home and get some rest... and heal up for those of us who still bear wounds." Myrr suggested. She would have tried to ease out of Shive's hold and stand on her own two feet, but she found her strength excessively drained from the wounds and stress of battle.
"Uh... would you mind carrying us...? I don't really have the strength to stand up... let alone fly, and Xe's in worse condition then I am..." she finished almost embaressedly.

Shive sighed, rubbing his neck as he muttered,
"Hey, I just came back from the dead for the umpteenth time in my life... it's not an invigorating experience, and I'd been working my ass off for the first half-a-day before you two showed up..."
There was a pause, and he added with a bit of a smirk,
"So gimme about five minutes, and I'll be ready."
He exhaled a small laugh as he stared at the night sky, then quickly grew quiet, trying to enjoy the moment while he could. He had a rare moment with the two people closest to him, and he wanted to make sure he got all out of it he could. Several minutes passed in silence, then Shive slid his arms downward and wrapped them both around each Myrr's waist. He wobbled to his feet, then, upon gaining his footing, gave a toothy smirk before barking,
"Alright ladies, let's hope the desert has a thermal for us...!"
With that, he charged off the cliff, wings spread before rising on such an updraft of warm air. He slowly wheeled around and made his way back to the city, issuing a joyous sigh as he glided across the night.
"Enjoy the ride..."
