All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life
Soh might not know very much about relationships, but she’d spent her time since leaving the Grounds learning a great deal about people. One of the things she’d managed to figure out was that she shouldn’t ask people to go against their natures - it rarely worked, for one, and it bred resentment, for another. Besides that, she knew very well how capable Zavien was, and she trusted him to come back to her in one piece.
But at the same time, he’d already died once. She didn’t need him to make that two times.
Still, she wouldn’t ask him not to do something that called to him, especially not when she was doing the exact same thing. All she would ask was that he be careful, and he agreed to that readily enough, squeezing her hand to reassure her that he’d take her worries to heart.
His next question gave her pause, if only because she had so very many good memories to choose from. ”You mean from before you kissed me?” she teased. ”Because that might be my new favorite.” But then, thinking for a moment, she said, ”I think… the first time I flew. I was so nervous. I’d climbed this big tree and shifted, and then I just sat there for… gods, an hour? Just trying to talk myself into taking the leap. But when I finally spread my wings and jumped, it was just so natural and easy. It was like this piece of me I hadn’t known existed had finally fallen into place.”
Realizing that this was not unlike her description of their relationship, she smiled. ”I think about that feeling sometimes - that rush of joy because I’d done something that was initially scary, but I did it anyway and it turned out to be the best thing I’d ever done. It’s what I thought of when I started leading Stormbreak.”
