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
You're alive, Koa repeated, and Soh just nodded dumbly, unsure what to say. She'd never intended to be gone for so long that people had begun to think her dead. What did one say to an almost-ex-boyfriend who had apparently thought her lost to Mort's realm forever? Who had come running the moment she'd called? Had she made a mistake in asking him here, stringing him along yet again in some unintentional extension to the game they'd long since stopped enjoying together? She'd learned some time ago that her intentions rarely seemed to matter - it was the outcomes that seemed to haunt her, even when she was trying her best to do the right thing.
She was terrified that this would be the same, that the relief in his eyes would turn to hatred when he realized just how much of a failure she'd been - not just to him, but to everyone.
That Koa had been there, had tried to stop her kidnapping, took the breath from Soh's lungs in a sharp exhale. "You - you were there?" she gasped. "But you - you're alright?" Gods, if he'd tried to stop the man who'd kidnapped her, he could have been hurt, or even killed! What was he thinking?
And then the talk shifts to after, and Soh's arms tightened around her middle, as though she could hold herself together if she only tried hard enough to do so. "After they'd taken over Stormbreak, they let me go," she said. "I... I was so afraid, and I ran. I thought, if I could just get out of Stormbreak, I could make a plan and figure out what to do. But then I got sick - I think it was the Void flora, maybe, but I don't remember much. I woke up a few days ago in the Greatwood. A Fae had been taking care of me. I didn't realize how much time had passed, and now..." She trailed off, unsure. Now it might be too late.
