Nova
The best way to predict the future
is to create it.
is to create it.
Nova only lets Caly get so far, keeping her close in the tight grip of her hug. She wants to go back, wants to cherish the time when her siblings were no more than a thought away, to the place where nothing could come between them and their mom was always present. But her sister does what she can to mitigate the frustrations and make the best of the situation they're in, the life that they've chosen to embrace, and Nova loves her all the more for it.
The raindrops around them slowly begin to evaporate, another sniffle shaking her body before she loosens her hold a fraction to give her lungs enough breath to sigh. "Okay." It's reluctant but willing, yet she adds the firm caveat of "but I won't leave until the Sunbean is up and running." She wants to see it through without leaving the heavy lifting to Caly, and make sure her sister is settled so she has one less thing to worry about when she joins Vesper in the Greatwood for a while.
Finally pulling back enough to give a serious pout of her lips, Nova's watery eyes glimmer with determination. "And you have to promise we'll go to mom about these." Her hand raises, the silver bracelet of dangling stars catching the sunlight like a promise that she'll never be too far, and that she'll make sure that one day they can't be separated so easily.
