Hotaru
Take me where the shadows grow
Just wanna not be here
Valkyrie and Bastion have never needed Attuned bonds or letters to understand one another, and though she misses him frequently she equally cherishes the easy way they make the most of the time they do share. It's scarcely for solely their shared benefit now that they have children, but is that not often the case?Just wanna not be here
Scarcely ever away from her daughter's side when on Torchline's sands, Hotaru watches Remi's figure grow nearer as they walk arm-in-arm down the beach. She wonders privately how much time Remi will be able to afford them. It will never be enough, she knows, but she longs for every glimpse and stolen moment she is granted. The sweetest reminder of grief that she will willingly submit to the knife for every time.
"Good morning," she murmurs to Remi, glowing soft golden shades in the early dawn that reflect in her vulnerable smile. Her free hand squeezes Flora's elbow where it's looped in hers, taking what strength she can. There is no consideration to thank Remi for doing this, though perhaps there should be. They all want this. She can scarcely stand the moments between without lengthening them with empty words.
Take me where the stars don't show
It can get a lot out here, shining all alone
It can get a lot out here, shining all alone
