And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
Her words seemed to fall on deaf ears. Noah said her name - once, full of concern - and that was enough for Soh to break. Still clutching the eggs in her hands, she drew her knees up to her chest, uncaring about the mud that squelched and smeared across her ruined clothes. Wrapping her arms around her knees, the young woman rested her forehead atop them, forcing herself to take deep, shuddering breaths. She was fine, really - she could tell that Maea's healing had done its job - but she wasn't fine, either, in a bone-deep way that she couldn't quite shake.
But she had no choice to fall apart, not here, not now. She needed to make it somewhere safe before she allowed herself the freedom to shatter. So she forced a shaky inhale, raised her head, and fixed her silver gaze upon Noah. "I - think Maea healed the worst of it." Slowly, she stretched out her legs, surveying the lingering wounds. They were clearly burned, but it was as though she'd merely scalded herself rather than been on the receiving end of griffin and dragon fire. Red, inflamed skin had replaced what had been blistered and sloughing off. Even her ribs, which she'd been sure had been broken by the mud behemoth, had only a lingering ache.
She forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "I'll be okay." She scanned Noah, searching for any sign of injury - anything other than the persistent worry in his pale eyes. "Are you hurt?"

And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down
