And while she could also grow sad thinking about how she doesn’t really have a place here, she bypasses it in order to focus on his own scars; tracing the silvery nicks and marks, humming a chimed laugh at the bicycle comment, before he’s guiding her hand.

The next one does cause a flush of shame to coat her cheeks, having effectively disappeared during that time in her attempts to stay alive. “I’m sorry.” She says softly, having also been Ascended in that time. But she tries to bypass her shame for her selfishness, moving to guide his hand to the deeper wounds in her back, the ones that leave deep marks every five inches or so down the sides of her back on either side of the burn scars. “These were from armor I received from the second world. Every time I used it, it would puncture my skin to stay attached.” And every time it had made those scars worse and worse.
