Lightning makes no sound until is strikes
It was a relief to have the citizens safely arrive at the barracks. And then Aino called him over and that small bit of peace was shattered. "I can't just leave you and Ilma." His whisper was harsh, eyes wide and nearly desperate. The two woman had been beacons of stability for the Outlander since he came to Caido. To be without them was too painful. To leave Halo, the place that after a year had begun to feel like home? To be uprooted yet again? Sah felt something sharp pierce his heart.
Aino's continued instance, and Cordelia's heartbroken agreement finally convinced him. His arms came up to wrap around the shoulders of bothAino and Cordelia, pulling the two in for a tight and desperate hug. "Alright. We'll go to Torchline and warn them. Aino, take care of everyone here, and that includes yourself." Sah locked steely eyes with her. "Keep your own head down and don't speak out. Stay safe. We can't lose you." Sah spoke with conviction, heartbreak bleeding into every word.
His eyes watered slightly, but he was too enraged to let them fall. Gut-wrenching grief and rage fought for control of the Outlander. The only thing grounding him were two goals. Get to Torchline to warn the Queens. And to keep Cordelia safe as they went. If he couldn't protect his sister, Sah sure as hell was going to protect his cousin. Even if she hadn't acknowledged him as such, he considered her one.
