All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life
Suddenly, Zavien was there, his hands bracing her arms as he searched her face. "I - yeah, I'm fine -" she said, though she still shivered, even with Zavien so near. She didn't like the scream rain. Normally it was an annoyance more than anything, but this time... something about the rising, wailing cacophony of voices made her think of Stormbreak. "I'm sorry," she said, pressing closer to rest her cheek against his chest, tucking herself beneath his chin. "Something about that one made me think about what it would have sounded like if we didn't get everyone out of Stormbreak before it fell."
Sometimes it still haunted her, what might have happened if they'd failed. She didn't offer more; if anyone could understand that particular nightmare, it was Zavien. She'd never appreciated that quite so much as this moment.
The rain fell harder on the windowpanes, though they were blessedly left alone by the screams. Soh peered out the window as Zavien held her, lamenting the fact that her plans had been outdoor ones. She really missed the sun. Finally, calmed by Zavien's arms around her, Soh pulled away just enough to look up at him. "Well, unfortunately, the rain kind of ruins my plan for the day, unless you want to go play mini golf in the rain?" Her tone was light, even if she was still a little on edge. What she really wanted now was to curl up on the couch and be held for a little while, but she didn't want such a request to bore Zavien. Instead, she made a face. "I should have probably made a backup plan," she joked.
