MILO
She doesn’t move toward him, not toward his open arms. And they begin to falter a fraction, arms trembling before they lower and his red brows pitch together in a pinch that pulls on some wrinkles on his forehead. Her apology doesn’t make sense to him, it has him pausing, eyes focused on her intensely even as she tries to find the ability to explain it to him, he doesn’t know what comparisons it is she’s drawing.
And then it clicks. His arms dropping so that he might push himself up from the place he’s sitting, to untangle the nets from around him so that he can step over toward her – to get into her space, trying to figure out what had gone wrong aside from well… The obvious. “Y’killed a unicorn, not… Not someone with magic, though?” He airs, pausing because he doesn’t know if she had or hadn’t, doesn’t know what had all gone wrong aside from what she’d told him the night of.
He steps toward her now, arms opening again to pull her into his embrace – even if she’s still as a pillar, he tugs on her hard to get her to crumble into his arms. “’Relia… Listen.” He pauses, taking a deep breath, feeling sturdy despite the way she tries to throw him. “Y’came from a tough place. ‘n Caido hasn’ been easy for ya either, but… Wasn’t like this. Like I told ya before, yer gonna make mistakes ‘n shit’s gonna be hard, but… That’s life… Right?” It has to be, otherwise he’d likely have a much easier life if he didn’t constantly fuck things up too.
