to heal a wound, you need to stop touching it
"Keep yourself safe, Sunny." He can't, not really and especially not now, but Vai feels as though it needs saying nonetheless. Things like war, like those she cares about being put in danger... it puts her teeth on edge, knowing there's nothing any of them can do about it. Inhaling deeply and letting it out again, she conjures a smile for him and leans across to kiss his cheek, before rising to her feet. "I don't think you can really go wrong, there. And don't underestimate how much a little time can make a difference. I bet Nate is missing you terribly already."
The conversation turns to lighter subjects, though, and the witch raises her eyebrows and grins at the prospect of finding things to kit out Kamaria's bedroom. "I would love to help," she tells him, linking her arm with his and leading them back out towards the bustling streets. "Let's find her something that will make her feel at home." And something that will cheer Sunjata up, if Vai has anything to say about it.
