it's 2am and i took 17 shots of vodka trying to forget your name
but the only name i forgot was mine. and sober —
The future for Kiada had always been tentative. A sort of… Unknown, after being tossed from world to world. Half of her expects to be tossed from this one as well – to lose Chulane and everything else she’d ever known. But instead of being too afraid to dive in and fall in love again only to be broken when she imagines it’ll happen again, she dives straight in. Because it’s better than being a shell, better than being nothing in comparison to how closed off she had once been. She only hopes it’s not cruel, not selfish of her to have those thoughts.
They’re not aired, however, as his breathy huff of a laugh leaves Chuy and she offers the glass to him, sitting back a bit to listen as he offers the comment of learning about all of them. Some were far better than others, and it’s not until he asks her what she considers home that she sort of stills. The fingers stroking along his neck pause in their gentle idle caresses as she focuses on what to answer with.
“The Aurora Basin.” She says softly, that soft smile remaining despite it’s nostalgic tone. Her iceberg gaze finds his as he hands the glass back and she takes a lighter sip from it, settling with the warmth in her stomach. “It was a lot like Halo… Not quite as cold. But we lived in the mountains and had a lake that never froze, and these hot springs that were… Wonderful.” She smiles a bit more tenderly with that, thankful for the distraction. “And at night… The aurora would appear.” Her head tilts up, almost as if she can look through the ceiling and see them dancing above. “It was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.”
Her head tilts down then, slowly, as she lets the alcohol warm her from within, letting it take a bit more of a hold over her to wash away the sorrowful feelings. "Did they have those in Oz?"
