to heal a wound, you need to stop touching it
"Time's a helluva healer though, right?" Vai says, her voice hushed but her smile bright, and she reaches with her free hand to give his fingers a gentle squeeze over his wedding band. "The evidence is all around us." Sunjata and Hotaru together, invited to a party hosted by Remi and Ronin, and with a plethora of friends, both departed and living, to celebrate with them. Nevertheless, Vai lets out a relieved sigh to hear that the Flood is alright, trusting his words and trusting them even more so at his follow up remark.
With a grin she hugs him closer, letting out a delighted laugh. "Of course you are. Congratulations, Sunny. You'll tell Hotaru the same from me?" It's true that, whilst her role in the other woman's life hasn't been insignificant, they'd never really had the chance to bond in the same way as she and Sunjata. Even so, though, Vai wishes them nothing but the best.
"A ruler, a demigod, a fiance, and you still have the gall to be as handsome as you are," she trills, reaching up to playfully pinch his cheek. "I'm so happy for you, Sunjata. You deserve every bit of peace you can get."
