Darling please, just give us some time, and I swear we'll be alright
If he’s feeling overprotective then it’s a perfect match for the strange fragility sitting out of place in her chest like jostled shards. She curls into his lap easily, legs folded beneath her and leaning into his chest as sun filters through the vanes of his feathers. It feels like the only thing that can hope to reach her when she’s in his arms. It makes the sick feeling in her stomach slowly ease.
Tilting her face into his hand she hums quietly, eyes half-lidded as she focuses on every little detail of his touch so that she won’t think of Seren’s long limbs on the sand, the crackle of ice -
Her breath catches in her chest for a moment, and she has to focus back in on the callouses of his fingers and his familiar scent to push back the imagery. “Please,” she murmurs. Her thigh is the worst, but her head pounds fiercely, a migraine making her grateful for the dispersed light his wings create. There’s no need to ask for him to stay with her; she knows he won’t leave her, not now
