“You’ll be back soon, won’t you?”

This is for *CallistoHime's Illustration Contest. ='D (GARGH! I've been working on this picture for so long! I consider this to be one of the first "fluff scenes". It's not exactly... happy, though. But the scene put such an image in my mind.

For the sky, I referenced tutorial from *Sadir89. She makes some very nice tutorials for skies. ^^

Edit: For those of you who are curious, this piece did end up winning third place in the judging contest and second in the popular vote. I'm honored to get a placing! (I don't think I'm even worthy for this. ;_; ) Thank you for all your support!
