Running through my head

from the mornings you ease to the evenings you quiet
I'm always thinking of you, I'm always dreaming of you

The reminder of their soaked clothes has Hotaru laughing slightly, though it still doesn't encourage her to peel away from him to remedy the situation any faster. Their embrace is too comfortable even when balanced by the discomfort of damp and sticky garments. It's a dizzying thought, that he is sure enough in this decision to tell his sisters tonight, but there is also a steady comfort she feels in the fact she won't be doing this alone. Even if Tal doesn't stay in King's End, or travels just as often as he does now, she'll still have someone there both during and after the transition. It's immensely comforting.

Laughing, cheeks just slightly pink at him saying 'your Sunjata' (and oh gods, no, this is far too much ammunition for him when she has never lost the high ground of teasing) she concedes the point easily. "I'll let him know we should start considering skyport locations." She still has goodbyes of her own to say, so her expression is soft and understanding even if he can't see it with how he buries his face in her hair.

"No, I don't think so. Guess I should make us some more tea, hm?" She shakes against his chest with her laughter, spilling up and out in an unforeseen deluge. It's going to be a long night, with many more ahead of them, but she feels lighter and more hopeful than she has all season.

- Fin!
