despite everything I gave,
you walked away...

There is something cold and unforgiving in the new granite set of her old friend's face, something that shoves her compass heart from hopeless relief to wary consideration. Rathunax hummed unhappily from the skies, molten eyes staring down at the mare. He had never known the mare she used to be, saw her plainly as Nayati did not, as someone who could not necessarily be trusted. Nayati sensed this from him, in a thousand wordless ways, and her heart felt as if it was melting through her ribcage with the pain of a loss she never could have prevented. For though she'd lost Abdullah, had mourned her, she still stood before Nayati. Alive, but untouchable. Broken in some valuable, intimate way that Nayati doubted she could ever fix. It hurt the beautiful maiden so much, and she wondered if she fled whether anyone else would happen across the mare.

Regardless of how she felt, it was still her duty to lead the strays from the threshold into the relative safety of Helovia.

Even when they ripped her heart apart with singular words, it seemed. Nayati's tiny shoulders tensed, head dropping to stare at the earth somewhere between the two of them. She simply couldn't take that harsh, penetrating stare. It was so impossibly different from how she used to be, how she used to gaze upon Nayati way back then. Still, she flicked her rose eyes up to the dappled lady when she spoke, tentative as her trembling hands offered out her heart to the maiden before her. The pair knew it would only end in pain and suffering, but Nayati had to at least try.

"Do...do you remember me?" It was almost as bad as she used to be, her speech. Back when her stutter was so pronounced that she could hardly be understood. And yet Abdullah had still been kind to her, patient and loving...the possibility that she'd never see that side of her again, that she'd have to suffer through knowing she was alive but still so far away metaphorically, was agonizing for the spotted girl.

the rose shadows said that they loved the sun, but they also loved the dark, 
where their roots grew through the lightless mystery of the earth. the roses said: you do not have to choose.
