[Training] try to find if it was worth what you spent

i heard you say that you've lost, you've lost, you've lost, you've lost your way

It’s a slippery slope and Sunjata is barely capable of keeping himself in check with it – not out here, not out in the Wilds with nobody else but them to witness it. It’s different, there’s no rumors that would fly, nobody passing through Haulani seeing them drunkenly tangled up on the trudge to the Inn. Instead, all there is are the birds around them, the fish that dare to travel up the shallows where they stand, and them.

It’s breathtaking, really, the way that she stills for him – how she always had – how he only has to hunch himself over a little bit as she tilts her head back toward him. All he has to do is break those inches that separate them and he could ruin it all. And even still, in his debating, his gaze flickers between her lips to her dual-toned gaze, watching, waiting, gathering courage? before she breaks it completely.

Dark brows inch together as her words reach him – positive that he hasn’t missed a spot. But then she’s shoving him and he’s far too unbalanced here in the shallows of the water and with his ribs the way they are, how he’s been trapped by her orbit. He goes down with a grunt of pain from a sparking shooting pain of his ribcage. But he activates the magic in his blood now, grabbing onto the water at her feet where he tries to prop himself up, aiming to drench her completely in it. “I don’t think so.” He rumbles to her, trying to be playful among the pain that courses through him.

but i don't think you had much to lose, that house was never built for you
