anyway, you say you're too busy
saving everybody else to save yourself
saving everybody else to save yourself
She lets him pull her close, to search her face, to tuck her hair behind her ear and rest his shoulder along her neck. Inside, he’s still quiet, terrified, anxious, some part angry at the events of the day. At least now the numbness of it all takes over, the exhaustion combined from the task, the bath, the conversation, his emotions… It all feels like it leaves nothing within him. But she’s an anchor to hang onto, and she’s told him that she wants to stay.
Even knowing his shadows, his regrets, the thoughts that pang him late at night when things don’t go right and he takes them too close to heart.
He closes his eyes when she brushes her fingers over his cheek, listening to the whispered words. A confirmation, perhaps an understanding of what it might mean if she were to stay. But it’s something, at the very least. So he moves somewhat to pull her closer, to break that gap where he can rest his head along the crook of her neck, arms wrapping around her to pull her close against his chest. “Thank you.” A quiet whisper against her skin, nothing with any of the heat of before… Just… Quiet, empty, sad.

Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3
Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.
