all you have is your fire

i try to keep it in line, maybe i'm just not the one

A muscle feathers briefly in his jaw at the way she tells him his apologies won’t work. He knows this, deep down, and yet he still feels them important to say. So he nods to her, puffing out a small sigh to try and relief the tension in his jaw. “You’re right.” He says, half waiting to add to it when she picks up again, the Hels above them circling and crowing their interest while Sunjata feels nothing but guilt rampaging through his mind, soul, body.

“And to that too.” He agrees, because he would end up destroying himself if he wasn’t careful. Only… He didn’t know how not to. So he lets his gaze drift about her face, the red hair, the crashing of waves in the back. Maybe he’s an idiot to admit it, maybe he’s stupid and childish and will never know how to fix himself. Or maybe… Maybe he could try, with those who cared.

So his head tilts curiously toward her, some hidden glimmer in his gaze. “I’m not sure how to change.” He admits, but the brow he raises seems to ask if she has ideas on how to help him, if she even wants to.

but you know i would
