Moved by a sudden impulse

Sohalia

Say my name
And every color illuminates

That this was a first for both of them warmed Soh's heart for some reason she couldn't quite put her finger on. Perhaps it was that this was something they shared, something that was just theirs, something that the world could never take away from them. Or maybe it was just another way that they were similar, something else they had in common. It was striking, really, just how much there was to bind them together, even before today. They'd both called Stormbreak home, both served their region as best they could, both given all they were capable of to a higher calling. And now they were both a little lost, but trying their best to pick up the broken pieces of their lives and put themselves back together.

Zavien, she knew, could understand parts of her better than anyone else, and that realization made her pulse leap even as it terrified her.

His kiss was tender, and she leaned into him as she returned it. Everything now was unhurried, as though they had all the time in the world to explore one another. When Zavien asked if she was finished, she nodded, her cheek scraping smoothly against his thumb, and when the water shut off, she stepped out of the shower, careful not to drip all over the floor as she looked for and found a few towels. Handing Zavien one, she wrapped hers around herself and methodically began to dry off.

We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
