THE VALKYRIE
You bring clarity when I can't see past
All the places where I made my mistakes
All the places where I made my mistakes
Hotaru can't help her syrupy, warm laugh when his own sappiness comes pouring in surprised reaction down the bond her way, making it clear she had misunderstood. That's okay - there's no shame on her behalf for having answered with more sentimentality than required. Though he might feel her emotions in the bond the way he hadn't been able to in the past, Hotaru tries to remind herself that it will never be the same as actually saying what she thinks and feels.
That doesn't mean she begrudges Jata being more physical in his communications, tilting her face readily when he cups her cheek and smiling all the while that he leans down and lingers with his nose brushing against hers. "I'm more tired than I've been in years, but it hasn't gone past what I can handle just yet," she reassures. There have been days she arrives home more bedraggled than others, but so far she has only toed the line of her limits instead of crossing them.
Sunjata's ferocity is surprising, but her expression melts seconds after, bowled over by how proud she is of how far he has come since that day on the beach after the war. How far they've both come. "We deserve this and more," she vows in turn, because this is only the beginning of their newest chapter. It takes just a bit of stretch onto her toes to kiss him, lingering there as she languishes in the feeling of all they've worked so hard to regain finally being within their grasp.

Your love has turned me into something better
Elevate me with your love forever
