twisting in circles again

i closed my eyes and saw my father's sins, they covered me like a second skin
i peeled them off, and sure i bled a bit, but now i'm free to sink my own damn ship

It is a beautiful name. He hadn’t known it until she’d come to his door, but it had been a name from the only place of salvation Sunjata had after the events with his father took place in Korofi. But already he breathes a bit easier, a gentleness that tugs at his broad shoulders from the kiss she places against his cheek, that makes him sink into his seat comfortably despite everything.

And an option that Vai would be willing to watch her helped continue that feeling. But for now, they need to get into the grittiness of it all, where he can focus on giving her the events that happened, where she might be willing to help him figure it out. “Yes.” He says, pausing, leaning forward a bit in the seat to clasp his hands together, to run his thumb along the back of his other hand idly. “I’m okay. I understood why. I… Broke promises to her and put Nate in danger. So, I get it.” It had been emotional but he’d seen it coming from the reaction she’d had when he’d told her the news.
