300 Years Later
Lazarus sighed and ran his hands through his bangs, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes. He had to be at the hospital in a little over an hour, but he wasn't exactly looking forward to another twelve hours on his feet. Three hundred years as a doctor and it was still exhausting. At least he could relax outside of his favorite cafe and not be bothered. "You look like !@#$," a tall woman said, sitting down in the chair across from Lazarus, and the demon raised an eyebrow at his shape shifting friend, resigning himself to conversation.
"Thanks. I appreciate that. Really," Lazarus said, crumpling up his coffee cup and tossing it in the garbage can a couple of feet away. "You're supposed to be working, Penelope."
"I'm on lunch. Jerome is with me," she added, pointing at a tall demon that gave them a wave and started heading over, carrying some food from the cafe and sitting down beside Penelope.

Re: 300 Years Later
Liam had been traveling with Stella, Iirlon, Caden, and Evroni. He had been flying on Stella's back when she sudden veered downward, towards a town Liam hadn't noticed.
"Stella! Warm me next time you decide to go into a dive!" Liam gasped, bracing himself as Stella landed hard. "What's going on?" He asked, looking at Stella in confusion.
"Lazarus is here." Stella said, turning her head from Liam towards where Lazarus was sitting.
"Lazarus, here?" Liam took in a sharp breath as he looked where Stella was looking, staring at Lazarus with wide eyes. "...Lazarus... You !@#$ bastard." He practically snarled as he slipped off of Stella's back and marched angrily towards Lazarus.

Re: 300 Years Later
Lazarus stood, knocking over his chair, eyes wide as he took in the sight of Liam and his friends, Caden's expression of fury not much better. "I--Sioise, what-"
"Who's this, Laz?" Penelope asked curiously, leaning on her hands as she watched the group with amusement. "Oh! Dragons!"
"Penelope," Lazarus snapped. "By the gods, Liam, let's--let's go somewhere to talk. Jerome, I'm not going to make it into work. Tell Jay."
"Sure thing, boss," Jerome said with a nod, nervously glancing between everyone as he grabbed Penelope. "Come on. We have to get back to the hospital. Lunch's over."

Re: 300 Years Later
"Talk, now you want to talk." Liam growled, not slowing in his angry marching. When he was close enough to Lazarus, he curled his fist and punched Lazarus. "It's been three hundred years Lazarus! You left without a word! The only reason I knew you weren't dead was because Iirlon is still alive!" He yelled, angry tears hinting at the corners of his eyes. "You abandoned us and broke my heart, and now you want to talk!"

Re: 300 Years Later
Lazarus stumbled back slightly, frowning as he wiped the blood from his nose. "I tried to talk to you about it, Liam, but you wouldn't listen to me. I couldn't keep going that way. I couldn't wake up one day and realize you hate me because of the person I was ," he tried to explain, feeling his chest ache at the silence he was getting from Iirlon, his dragon refusing to talk to him.

Re: 300 Years Later
"But you left." Liam said bitterly, stepping back from Lazarus. "It's been three hundred year, Siifiriw, and not a single word from you. Were you even planning on ever coming back, or were you planning to stay away for the rest of eternity?" He asked, a few angry tears escaping, which he quickly wiped away.

Re: 300 Years Later
"I was," Lazarus said softly. "I just didn't know when. And the longer I stayed here, the more people needed me."
"Siifiriw, Sioise is right. You were gone for centuries. What in the gods' names have you been doing this entire time?" Caden asked, sounding frustrated and upset, Evroni curling around his rider. Iirlon shifted on his feet, wings and tail tucked up close to his body.

Re: 300 Years Later
"What have you been even doing here?" Liam asked with a frown. "You could have done something. You could have written, you could have reached out to Iirlon at the very least," He said, gesturing to the dragon. "You broke my heart, Lazarus, but you and Iirlon have a soulbond and you closed yourself off from him."

Re: 300 Years Later
"If things turned for the worse, I was going to kill myself, Liam," Lazarus said. "It would have been easier on the both of you if I cut myself off. I...found a way to break the bonds, both between you and me, as well as Iirlon. It was a last resort," he explained as gently as possible, knowing the all three of them wouldn't take that answer well.

Re: 300 Years Later
"You better !@#$ not." Liam snarled, snatching the collar of Lazarus's shirt and tugging him down, leaving minimal space between their faces. "It's been three centuries since I last saw you, and I am still pissed as hell, but I am still yours as you are mine. If you ever do that, I will find your corpse and resurrect you just to punch you for thinking that would work."
