Hotaru
For all the awkwardness of the angle, his embrace has her laughing in a warm breath across his shoulder, feeling misaligned parts and pieces settle back into place. "I can fly now, didn't you know?" The teasing edge of her voice precedes a shimmering translucent image of a golden hawk as it gracefully glides around them before disappearing in a ray of sunlight streaming through the broken window.
Any anxiety he feels she hopes to banish with the brush of her thumb over the ridges of his knuckles as she pulls him down to join her. "This is ease enough," Hotaru assures with a smile made more maternal by the day. Even talk of Halo cannot dim it, though interest rises in irises of seafoam and overcast skies as he mentions his own move to the Greatwood. "I've only been once aside from staying with Vai," she confesses, "when Vi had us plant roses. What's it like? Better than Stormbreak?" A land just as unfamiliar to her, and one that would likely always remain a mystery.
