(SE) bury me face down

She’s losing him, and in that moment Vai just wants to reach out and shake him, to remind him who he is and where they are and why he shouldn’t be standing in the baking fucking sunshine. He pulls away and luckily she doesn't have to do any of that - Haai beats her to it, and she could kiss the griffin for a second. Sinking to her knees opposite him, she seeks out Sunjata’s eyes, not trusting him right now not to bite the shit out of her if she tries to bridge the gap again. ”Maybe,” she agrees, chewing the inside of her lip. ”Sunjata, Safrin might lie - but I’ve never lied to you, have I? Can you tell me who you think is up there, at least? Why is this so important?” She could have told him that he was sick even before all of this, but at least a goddess has got there first. That might hold some sway over his fevered mind. vervain well i'll rest my eyes and i'll let the earth breathe
