everything that I have to live without

Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me

Something about the way the stranger spoke settled heavily in Noe's chest, recognition beginning to flicker at the edges of her mind. She peered at the woman sidelong, wondering what she had lost, what it was that she missed. How was it that she managed to so effortlessly capture the emotions that Noe was feeling and put them into words?

And then she was offering condolences about Stormbreak, and the way her voice thickened and her eyes flashed with memory gave Noe a clue: the woman knew, knew what it was to lose her home and have to start from scratch. Turning her back on the pegasi, Noe leaned back against the railing on her elbows, looking at Colt more fully now. "Yeah," she agreed. "It does." Here in the Celestine, things weren't so bad, but the Tower and the Archives certainly looked more like tombs than not. Noe wasn't sure she had the courage to face those areas just yet.

"Are you from Stormbreak?" she ventured, tilting her head to one side. She hadn't seen the woman around before, but the city had been huge. They could've lived right down the street from one another and never realized it.

Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that
