from the mornings you ease to the evenings you quiet
I'm always thinking of you, I'm always dreaming of you
I'm always thinking of you, I'm always dreaming of you
Hotaru has never considered the notion of Noah returning to become Warden, though perhaps that's because she has let the memory of her own brief stint as Warden alongside him fade into obscurity, never anticipating its repries. There is some bittersweetness to that - it seems almost everyone has done the same about her. Still, she is loathe to take that idea from Talyson, no matter how she doubts its odds.
"If I can attest to anything, it's the power of healing in another region," she agrees, recalling how she'd locked herself away in the Greatwood with the twins after the coup, and Halo after they'd reclaimed it. Though she hadn't fully healed from the hurt of Sunjata and Nate and the loss of Atlas, she'd learned to live again - and had formed a community she never could have anticipated having. It's why she smiles so fondly when Talyson calls her family - to Ru, there are those squirming beneath her boot, and family. No in-between. It's amazing to her that she has found so many people to fill that role, one that had previously only been inhabited by Deimos and Kiada for so many long years.
Tilting her brow into his brief kiss, Hotaru smiles, watery and fond. "I'm sure I don't need to say that you can take your time. But if you want to pair up to move our boxes together, I'm happy to throw in some packing labor in exchange for use of the Peregrine," she teases, though the offer to help him pack up his home life is undeniably genuine.
