Wrap your teeth around the pavement

M  A   E    A I talked to God to no avail Said, "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time." She scoffed a bit at that, but couldn't quite deny it. Before he came along her path had been easy to see, challenging to walk but fairly straight forward all the same. Free of complications. Then he barged in like a colt in Leafchange, like the Flood he was named for, and suddenly all her ways were thrown into quesiton, every thought and action lit in a way that had her second guessing what she'd been doing with her life. The admission that Sunjata had been healed finally brought her gaze back to his face. To the bright eyes, the smiles, the easy breathing and smooth, untroubled voice that still didn't sound quite right in her ears. She hadn't bothered to ask before, but now? "Who..? What persuaded you?" He had been so stubborn about wanting the lung sickness to clear up on its own, as if using magic would somehow rob him of the experience. Yet here he was now. Whole and hale, ready to take on the world. A faint smile began tugging at her lips, and she leaned into the touch of his fingers on her face - she couldn't help herself when he looked at her like that.
