Some people crash two or three times and then learn from their mistakes
We are the ones who don't slow down at all

His cheeky response has her snorting an inelegant laugh she would normally hide from anyone else. "I have high standards; when has that ever been a surprise?" If the rest of the world would simply fall in line it would be for the better.
As he pulls away she feels momentarily bereft, but the spark of hope in his expression makes something melt in her chest that she had sorely hoped would stay strong. Helpless to look anywhere but his eyes, she notices immediately when they part from hers to rove around the bonfire and the dwindling number of attendees. Her own follow in their path, having her own realizations (and equally realizing she'd abandoned Talyson). Sunjata's voice breaks through her reverie, and she has to curl her tongue against the roof of her mouth to stop herself from saying no, please. Keep me. That's all I ever wanted you to do.
She rises almost against her will as he helps her off the sand, easily bearing her weight as she finds her footing. Having already heard his goodbyes, she isn't expecting much more. As her hand - still held in his - is lifted and his lips descend to gently touch the back of her hand, her breath strangles in her throat, and electricity dances from her knuckles to her chest, which tightens painfully. So frozen is she that it's not until he has relinquished her hand that she manages to speak.
"See you tomorrow," she whispers in turn, and stands there with the bonfire at her back, watching him walk back towards the Hanged Man. Ru stands there until someone walks past her, breaking her line of sight and making her realize she's been staring into space for far too long. Exhaling shakily, she gathers up her dress and slowly makes her way back to the bar as well - though keeping to the outside, lest she encounters anyone from within before she is ready. Before she can pretend what just occurred hasn't shaken her to her core.
