we could stay in this moment for the rest of our lives

I wanna break every clock
The hands of time could never move again

At Zavien's raised eyebrow, Soh shrugged helplessly. "I'm not that hungry," she explained, just as baffled as he was, but adding a teasing: "Maybe it was those breakfast scones." That had to be it... right? Still, he didn't try to convince her to get more (which earned him the approval of the woman behind the counter), and she smiled sheepishly as he guided her out the door.

The outside seating was lively despite the overcast weather. Where Soh was used to cafes at breakfast, or even brunch, when a certain calm pervaded, this place was nothing if not energetic. Outside of the seating area, shoppers passed by, kids ran through the streets, and animals lounged about in various states of excitement. Taking her seat, Soh allowed her gaze to roam over their surroundings, taking it all in. "I like this," she said after a moment, gesturing vaguely towards everything. "You know, in Torchline, everybody kind of does their own thing. This feels more like a community." Or maybe she was just too sequestered away in Wildering House to see the same there.

We could stay in this moment
For the rest of our lives
