responsibilities

Sohalia

And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack
All around the world was waking, I never could go back

Pulled closer, Soh wriggled until she was fully on Jude's lap, snaking an arm around his neck and pressing her face into his neck, breathing in his unique scent. There was simply nothing like being wrapped in his arms for calming her nerves, and even after the briefest of moments, she could already feel her stress melting away. Sure, there were things that they could both worry about or regret, but at the end of the day, so long as she had Jude, she knew that everything would be alright. Safe for now from big decisions - and quietly hoping that hers had not ruined anything for them - Soh sighed contentedly.

Her mind returned briefly to the idea of Jude moving in with her. Even if he was away a lot as Tal's apprentice, there was nothing that she'd like more than to have this to come home to at the end of the day. They'd had a taste of living together earlier in the summer, and Soh was eager to repeat the experience, but for real this time. Still, that was his decision to make, and she wasn't about to pressure him into anything. He could make his decision in his own time, and she'd be here for him regardless.

"Thank you for coming," she said suddenly, picking her head up from where it rested against Jude's neck to lean her forehead against his. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open
And finally it seemed that the spell was broken
