Only twenty minutes to sleep
But you dream of some epiphany

Later, perhaps, Soh would calm enough to appreciate the joy in the bond. She would love and cherish her new companion, perhaps even growing to appreciate the bond even more than she had when Tarak had been alive, if only because his death had proven to her how truly precious it was. But right now? Right now, she was in a tailspin, clinging to Zavien's arm and trying desperately not to hyperventilate. How could she explain that what should be a joyous occasion was marred by the memory of her fallen companion's dying cry? That she was wholly unequipped to care for a new companion because she had failed her previous one so utterly?
She didn't deserve the cloud wyrm. Not its love. Not its trust. Not its bond.
Tears leaked from Soh's eyes as Zavien drew her closer. She trembled as she leaned into his hold, releasing his arm only to wrap one hand around her navel. The other instinctively reached out to the cloud wyrm, seeking comfort and reassurance through the bond. The small, dragon-like creature came closer, winding herself around Soh's arm and purring with a sound not unlike a cat. "You don't want me," Soh told the wyrm in a broken, anguished voice. "I can't - I'm sorry -" The apology fell from her lips, a warning of all the ways in which she could fail her companion. And yet still the cloud wyrm stayed.
Soh turned her tear-streaked face up to Zavien. "I can't protect her," she sniffled. "I can't - I can't do this again."
