Valkyrie
Melita’s laugh is a little muffled with how she hefts her around, and her new strength surprises her. She hadn’t been a slouch by any means prior to Frey’s blessing, but now Melita feels like a negligible weight in her arms.
Maybe it’s the brightness of a new world before her eyes, or the excitement of seeing Melita again after far too long, but even the anxiety of Sunjata’s plan and its nebulous date of fulfillment feels farther away. Ru’s hands come up to Melita’s face, righting the hair she’d disturbed and briefly cupping her cheeks in both palms with a loving smile as she lingers, taking in the Honeybee’s face and the subtle changes she can see.
“There was some flooding, but nothing too bad. The docks needed some repairs and the merchants had significant losses, but we were incredibly lucky overall.” It’s still a little strange to say ‘we’ about this new region, but her heart will always be torn halfway to Halo regardless. Linking one arm with Melita’s, Ru smiles beatifically. “Things are going very well. Sunjata and I moved into our new home not long ago, you need to visit!” While Mel isn’t any closer than when Ru had been in Halo, having a shared space for the Honeybee to visit will hopefully make seeing her much easier. “And how are things for you?”

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down
