Noah
if there's a reason I'm still alive
when so many have died
when so many have died
Noah shifted his stance slightly, boots grinding into the ground as the fire settled into a steady burn before them. For a moment he just watched her, weighing something unspoken, carrying that same careful restraint he wore like a second skin beneath his warm smile. “Have you found your footing yet?” he asked. His gaze flicked briefly toward the north, toward where Stormbreak no longer stood as it had. “After everything with Stormbreak, I mean.” He didn’t dress it up more than that. He didn’t need to.
His smile dipped a fraction before easing into a rested, neutral expression, and then his attention shifted to the presence curled at her shoulders. The bond slipped open, deliberate but controlled, his mental voice steady and grounded. Hello, Anani. Noah exhaled wordlessly, a plume of white drifting between them before the fire swallowed it. His eyes returned fully to Sohalia, smile brightening his features again.
