If you could go back to yesterday
If Soh hadn't realized she'd fucked up before, she realized it now, and she sucked in a sharp breath as Flora's disbelief landed. "No, I - that's not what I meant -" she said weakly, regret in every line of her face because even if it hadn't been what she'd meant, it was what she'd said, so used to Flora understanding every facet of her that she hadn't thought twice about how she was phrasing herself. She wondered why today was so different, why they seemed to be on such different pages - not just about Zavien and Kaisel, but about this, too.
Tears prickled behind her eyes, but Soh refused to let them fall. "It's not -" she insisted, desperation tinging her voice as she tried to figure out how to salvage things. "I - that's not what I - I just -" She swallows hard, frustrated that nothing she'd said had landed right. Huffing a harsh breath, Soh tried again. "It's not about you, Flora, this is a me problem. I don't feel like I'm - I just want to prove that I can do something for myself. I don't want you to have to take care of me. I don't want to be a burden -"
She cut herself off, looking away, because deep down, after everything, that's what she felt like. She'd failed at everything she'd tried to do with Stormbreak in the end, relying on other people to do what she couldn’t. She’d been strong and capable once - she just wanted to prove that she could be again. ”You shouldn’t have to keep doing things for me just because I can’t take care of myself.”

Would you change it all for me?
