And how exactly was she supposed to feel about all that? There was a whole lot of conflicting messages there. A nice guy claiming he wasn't a nice guy, while busy doing nice guy things. While... also almost being insulting, in the 'I'd do it for anyone' kind of way. Way to crush a girl's illusions, boy. Well done. Saviour crush firmly averted. She rolled her eyes at him and smiled wryly, then waved after Loren as he left.
Only when he was well and truly gone did she move. With a long, slow sigh she slumped down on the cot and closed her eyes. The silence reverberated in her ears, and told her more plainly than words ever could about how far from home she really was.
For the longest time she just lay there, numb... before a shuddering sigh broke the dam, and hot tears began to roll from her eyes. Streaming down the temples, dropping quiet salt stains onto the fresh sheets.
Gods, this was insane.
