REXANNA
I am your friend
a soul for your soul
He echoes her statement, and she nods. But her eyes meet eyes of a similar blue, cold hands grabbing onto his hands. A dark brow lifts in question. She doesn’t want him to suffer more, and if she had the ability to protect him too, with him willingly, she’d take it. But, as is… He’s going to have to figure it out. Come to terms with it all.

He pauses chewing on his lip as his eyes meet hers again, and she gives him a soft squeeze of encouragement while he begins to speak. A small frown forms on her face – she knows this, she does, she’d just rather it be the least amount of people possible. If there even was the possibility. But he tells her he’ll help, if she needs it, and she gives him a small smile in response.
Despite the contradiction, she understands, and she nods in agreement. She has no qualms with the rest of the Launceleyns, only Zariah. And for the time being, the Queen is gone. So at the very least she can promise it to Peter now, even if it doesn’t uphold later down the line. “Okay.” She agrees, soft and gentle as she can despite the intensity of her person now. “And Peter, if you ever need anything, please come find me.” She tells him, giving his arms a small squeeze as if to try and make the point stay.
She’s there for him, whether he needs her to be or not.

sun or water,
here or away
we are a lighthouse
we leave and we stay
