to heal a wound, you need to stop touching it
"Oh, is that so?" Vai raises her eyebrows, a spark of quiet amusement dancing in her gaze. "I think it makes sense as well, in that case. You're both just picking back up what was always meant to be." And that sounds like the perfect ribbon to tie a knot and decorate their story. And honestly, she couldn't be happier for Sunjata for managing to carve out a bit of peace for himself after years of so much turbulence.
Laughing at his free admission about Frey, Vai gives him a sage nod. "Frey is amazing," she agrees. "I only met them a couple of times, especially back when they were still one combined aspect of themselves. But I always found them very helpful." Especially during her pregnancy with Felix; it's been so long now, though, that she imagines they are even more nuanced.
His sudden, tight hug startles a laugh out of her, the witch winding her arms around Sunjata in return to hold him close, giving him an affectionate squeeze. "Maybe you'll find yourself with a shift like that sooner or later," she quips, peering up at him as he releases her just enough that they can talk again. And though she appreciates his gratitude, of course Vai doesn't need or expect it, and she draws him once more into her embrace.
"I'd do it again in a heartbeat, Sunny," she tells him earnestly. "You know that. I'd still be doing it, if I were here. I won't lie, though - I'm so glad to see you happy."
