There was a difference in the pain they shared, an instrumental contrast that neither would recognize for what it was. The Aurelight carried a hurt bestowed upon him by others, wounds that had been deepened with each thoughtless lash of unrequited love; but Sohalia's scars were self-inflicted, brought upon herself by her own inadequacies. She had been the one to leave her loved ones behind; in another life, she might have been the cause of the golden steed's misery. But right here, right now, she had been his salvation, just as he had been hers. "Tomorrow comes too soon, doesn't it?" she asked, almost to herself. She watched the reds and oranges mantling the skies, lost in thought as she leaned her hip against his. It was a simple touch, with little of the passion they had shared through the night; but it was a promise of camaraderie, of redemption, of support. It was what he needed now. Just as he had for her, she now offered her bared soul in return. His tentative whisper and the lingering touch of his muzzle behind her ear brought a lump to her throat. Love did not live between them, not as it had for her before - but there was something there, a bond that she did not want to lose. He had stripped away her weaknesses and her fears, had seen into the depths of her soul and embraced her anyway, and she hoped -- She hoped. Recognition of the feeling brought a small smile to her face. She was, perhaps, still broken, but he had replaced a piece of her shattered soul. It was enough to hold her together for a bit longer, enough to keep the darkness at bay for, perhaps, another day. "Kaj --" It fell from her lips before she could think. She took an impulsive step toward him. "-- You don't have to be alone." She knew, then, that she needed this, needed him - maybe not in the feral, physical way that they had shared, but in another, deeper, somehow more intimate way. "I won't let you forget that," she whispered, an invitation to mirror his. "Talk talk talk." OOC | I'm okay with this being the ending, or they can have MOAR FEELS. Up to you! |
