Nothing she’d done wrong? Soh blinked, stunned into momentary silence because she was so sure that everything was her fault. It had certainly sounded like Colt blamed her, anyway; how else was she supposed to interpret a sheathed dagger in the mail, like a threat and a promise all wrapped into one?
Zavien pulled her gently inside, the door snicking shut behind them. Anani went to join Sol in the corner, careful to leave his bone alone, more interested in companionship than finding a way to share a treat. Soh collapsed onto the couch, seemingly exhausted, snuggling closer into Zavien’s arms with a sigh. Things may be a mess, but at least she had him, and that was enough to calm her further.
”Both would be good,” she said, voice soft, offering a tentative smile. ”Like I would ever turn down that offer.” Nuzzling closer, she tucked herself against Zavien’s chest, trying to decide where to begin.
”I told Flora that Colt had offered me a council position,” she said after a moment. ”It… didn’t go well. I thought she was upset with me because I didn’t want a position in Torchline. I tried to tell her I didn’t want her to put me on her council just because we’re friends, that I wanted to earn it. But she just got really offended, like I was choosing Colt over her, even though I told her I wasn’t really sure I wanted to go to Hak Etme, just that I’d said I would think about it.” Worrying her lower lip between her teeth, Soh added, ”I thought that she was mad at me, not Colt.”
