When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Maybe she’d made it sound worse than it was; really, she had found peace with a childhood marred by loss, and was working to get past everything that had happened thereafter. It was just… she knew there were people who cared about her, but there weren’t that many who she knew would care for her. And that was a distinction that was important, in her mind.
The eggs were finished quickly, and Soh removed the pan from the heat to let them cool. She peered at Zavien as he shared a memory of his own, her lips twitching with mirth at the thought of a young Zavien and his mother. Leaning her hip against the counter, she turned to face him more fully, feeling encouraged by this change of pace. ”That sounds lovely,” she admitted wistfully. Bad cook or no, it was hard not to envy someone their fond memories of their parents, particularly when she had so few.
”I was five,” she said softly, looking away. ”A friend of the family took me in, but they died when I was seventeen. That’s when I left the Grounds.” And ended up, eventually, in Stormbreak, where she’d been met with even more heartbreak. Maybe she was just cursed. It certainly seemed like everything she touched turned to ash eventually. The thought was bitter, and she dismissed it as quickly as it came.
