how can you rise
if you have not burned?
”Our lives will be spent looking over our shoulder for her and every other threat. Maybe we deserve one whole night to pretend that’s not true.

She lived for others now, or at least, so long as she bore this title.She lets him clean her, enjoying the feeling of his fingers as they trail behind the cloth and soap. Eventually she is clean, though still, she doesn’t rush him. The water stays warm with her magic, and at some point, she tries to clean him as well if he will let her. ”We should probably at least try to sleep at some point,” she says with a bit of a sigh, knowing they cannot stay here forever, even if she would like to.
