So here's to everything coming down to nothing
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Grinning in spite of herself, Soh wrinkled her nose. "Oh, now that's just insulting to both of us," she joked. "You're not that big, and I'm not that weak." Never mind that Soh wasn't as strong as she should be - she could still carry Flora to the moon and back if pressed to do so.
The hug lingered, but Soh didn't mind. She wasn't in a hurry to let go, determined that Flora should feel the full weight of her reassurances. Whatever had transpired at the party, Soh couldn't say whether or not Colt had been purposefully trying to cut with her words - but she'd certainly left behind a few scratches bleeding out in her wake. Maybe the intent didn't matter as much as the outcome. "Promise. I know you have my back, always." No matter what the future held, no matter what their disagreements, Soh had never questioned what Flora would or wouldn't do for her. It was an unspoken promise between them, the kind that transcended all else.
Pulling back, Soh offered a conspiratorial grin, feeling far better than she had to start. She still had questions, still felt guilty, but now she could at least see past all of that to the other, much less sunstoke-y, side. "Gods, it would have been terrible on my complexion, anyway," she said, tossing her hair playfully over her shoulder. "Can you imagine the peeling after I burned?"
Linking arms with Flora, Soh tugged her back towards the party. "Okay, so I think you still have cake and presents and dancing waiting for you," she said. "So I'll stop hogging you and we can go get this party started for real."
