It gathers thick on her lashes, darkening them as she blinks quickly, letting the healing seep through her skin to wash away the light sensitivity and aching in her teeth.
“You haven’t shown me this one before,” she murmurs, voice lighter and less twisted with pain. Her tone clearly marvels, charmed by the way it manifests. Admittedly she doesn’t want to unfurl, but the wound on her thigh is the worst and it’s tucked away between them currently. Shuffling around she extend her legs out in front of the both of them, reclining fully against his chest and tucking her face into his throat as the rain falls and heals the deep laceration Talyson’s dagger had left.
“She looked so much like Enzo for a moment,” she murmurs, vulnerability making her voice thick. “When Flora brought him to me, there was ice everywhere. And he was still covered in sand.” The combination had nearly had her vomiting of her own accord. Hotaru knows she held back as it was, but the guilt smothers her.
