So here's to everything coming down to nothing
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
As she waited for Koa to arrive, Soh wasn't sure what she expected to feel - but whatever she'd imagined was nothing in comparison to when he appeared in the doorway. It took but a moment for his copper gaze to land on her, filled with so many emotions, and she was teleported back to the last time she'd seen him, the myriad feelings that she herself had experienced upon their parting. Here he was, as handsome and strong and real as she remembered, and here she was, and here theywere, and oh gods, what did she do now?
She stood to greet him, as though the movement would somehow allow her to shed some of the emotions that coursed through her veins, but the joy and fear and shame and guilt followed her even then. Wringing her hands, she took a step in his direction, wanting to reach out but afraid of what might happen if she did.
Tears filled her eyes as he croaked her name, and she almost fell to her knees right there in the inn because gods was it good to see a friend, to realize that she had been missed, to know that someone had cared enough to want to find her. And despite everything, she thought that perhaps there was relief mixed in on Koa's face among all the other feelings on display, and that warmed her more than anything since she'd woken up in the Greatwood had.
"Koa," she breathed, wrapping her hands around herself to keep from taking another step, and another, and throwing herself into his arms for a hug. But, gods, how she craved a friendly touch, when it had been so long since she'd even seen a friend. "I'm so sorry," she whispered after a beat, and her silver eyes overflowed as she tried to gather her thoughts. "The Family took me, and... I - I wasn't strong enough to fight them."
