[Her first reaction to seeing Mercy is well - shock. Because even if it's not as obvious to her, Aelwyn can see firsthand that she left a mark on the other girl. It was real - that means that Mercy loves her, and paid the price for it, like anyone else who's ever made that mistake in the past.
It's painful even to look at and she's halfway through formulating an apology before Mercy's hands are on her and her lips are on hers and -
Maybe she's not a good person (obviously) because all of that evaporates, at least for now, and all her mind can think about is this. She kisses back, reaching around Mercy and holding her tight. It's desperate and clinging, like if she lets go, Mercy will fade into ashes again. If this is another dream, she hopes she doesn't have to wake up for a long time.]
...I love you. [She says in between kisses, because god is the ability to just say that the most freeing feeling in the world.] I've wanted to kiss you for so long.
