Flora's brows, perfectly sculpted, warped into confused squiggles on her forehead as she blinked slowly. "....really." Her voice was flat, as was her aqua stare. The girl was a good liar; good enough to know when she was being lied to, and like any good liar, she wouldn't begrudge someone their falsities. What she couldn't understand was why? Why wasn't Koa telling her the truth? Gods, was Sohalia pregnant? Was that why they'd disappeared?
Worse, was she pregnant and Koa was lying to try and keep his options open with her?
But then he's walking toward her, wrapping his arms around her. She can feel his inhale, feel how much weight and muscle he's lost, and hear the desperation in his voice. Wanting to bristle, to give him the cold shoulder and act like his disappearance hadn't kept her awake night after night, instead, she felt her knees grow treacherously weak as her arms rose and tugged him close entirely of their own accord. Without permission, she pressed her nose into the crook of his neck as her fingers grabbed at the collar of his shirt and clenched it tightly. "You absolutely idiot." She whispered; for getting Sohalia pregnant, for running away, for not telling her the truth.
For coming back and making her care again.
