Sah
Only in the dark
of night
Sah searched Seren's eyes to be sure. When it became clear that she truly understood, Sah's expression softened. His eyes going warm as a single tear broke free. But he hardly paid it any mind as a sad but proud smile came to his face. "I know." He whispered back. "I know you won't." He seemed to have finally gotten through to her, but he hated that it had taken this much. Seren was clearly shaken and upset, and Sah? Sah's grief was like a physical thing, a burning in his throat and behind his eyes. of night
At Seren's plea, Sah felt a rush of affection for her. For how kind she was. And it was for that very reason that he had done this. "Seren, I did. I really did have to. You wouldn't have understood if I had put it any other way. And yes I just met you, and I'm contradicting what I just told you." A small chuckle escaped him. "But you are easily the most compassionate person I've met in Caido. I already know that you have a heart of gold." He paused, his brows furrowing. "And because of your position you are going to be at the heart of this war. And.. and I don't want to watch someone that kind.... that good... die." He gave her hand in his a squeeze. "And I didn't know how else to prevent that from happening." He really wanted to lean closer, to hug her. Or to maybe just press his forehead to hers. Just some kind of comfort since they both seemed to desperately need it.
