"HOPING ONE DAY YOU'LL MAKE A DREAM LAST
BUT DREAMS COME SLOW AND THEY GO SO FAST."
Najya once considered herself to be a good reader of people and their intentions. Now, in this moment, she felt she was struggling to keep her head above water. Why did she find him so difficult to read. She could feel his gaze on her and it took her a few moments before she again lifted her eyes to meet his his. Questions blossomed in her mind, but did not find their way to her lips. However his questions of her rang loudly in her curled ears.
Her tongue seemed to turn to ash in her mouth because all of a sudden her other talents seemed utterly irrelevant. She was a healer. She was a lover of stories and enjoyed repeating them. She’d discovered magic here in Helovia she’d since learned to master. She could fight, though she prefered not to. But she somehow got the idea that that was not the sort of answer that fit this particular situation. So again, she found herself evading his questions.
Perhaps it was because the heat from his touch lingered on her withers and spread across her back. It trickled up her neck and she fought to suppress a shiver. It had been a long time since she’d felt the touch of another, and it certainly gave her pause. Memories bubbled up from beneath the surface and she made a concerted effort to fight them back.
”Now Gaal, you can’t expect me to spill all my secrets all at once. Where’s the mystery in that?” Had she been human, she would have raised a brow. He’d have to do with the mischievous glint in her eye. She felt foolish, but it also felt good to let her inhibitions melt away - even if just for a little while.
“Plus. You’ve established that I am, in fact, a healer. But what about you? What about your talents…?” she asked. She felt so exposed in his gaze, yet she knew nothing of him. His talents. His intentions. Or his desires.
