I'll leave my love hidden in the sun
A few days.
A few days.
How many days did it take to topple an empire? Fewer than to build one, probably. Not enough, not enough, sang dread like crawling ants in her veins, spreading with the bloodstream into every limb until Seren was numb. The desire to run was overwhelming, curbed only by the promise to meet up with her friend. Even if she couldn’t tell Sah any of this, she was sure his steady calm and penchant for making her laugh would help keep her distracted. Keep her grounded, and not give in to this fear.
Or, at the very least, if she did run she would have somewhere to run to.
“Sometimes,” she admitted, very quiet for someone raging with terror on the inside. “I don’t know what to do with myself otherwise, is all. I was thinking field medic… I don’t think I’m patient enough to learn healing the proper way. All I really want is to move. See places, meet people. I get… restless.”
The problem with being a child of the stars was that the ground never quite managed to feel like home.
