To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Was all we needed
Was all we needed
Tal's reaction to her gratitude was not unexpected, and an affectionate (if small) smile appeared on the girl's face as the courier ducked his head. He'd always been terrible at accepting any kind of compliment, and it was nice to see that some things, at least, were the same. As the pair enjoyed their scones, Tarak watched with keen eyes, perhaps considering whether it might be worth stealing a piece of scone after all. As he contemplated the possibility, he preened himself, carefully plucking at an errant feather or two on one wing.
As Tal vehemently defended her, Soh flushed and turned her attention to the little griffin. Reaching out a hand, she absently stroked his head, scratching a spot that he particularly liked as the creature began to purr. "I suppose you're right," she murmured half-heartedly. And he was: who was she to think she could stand against the Family, when even Caido's demigods had failed to do so? It made her feel a little better, and she peered at Tal from beneath her lashes. "I hadn't thought about it like that."
As Tal helped himself to another scone and asked her the Big Question, Soh took a sip of her tea, buying herself time to think. In truth, she wasn't really sure what she wanted to do. Everything was such a mess, and she didn't even know where to start repairing what she'd broken in her personal life. And then there was Stormbreak to consider. "I don't know," she said after she'd swallowed her mouthful of tea. "I feel like I'm supposed to want to go back to Stormbreak, find a way to get rid of the Family and take back the city. But... I'm just... I'm just me. I'm not a demigod, or a warrior, or anything that could stand against them. And, honestly? I'm just... I'm so tired. I feel like I was making a mess of things even before the Family got me. Maybe I should just..." She trailed off, at a loss for words. Maybe she should just fade away, leave the world-saving to someone who could actually do it.
