just trying to pick up the pieces and figure out who i’m supposed to be after everything that happened. sucks how heavy it feels.
—her eyes move to meet his—
“ah. right, yeah.”
he nods, letting a chuckle escape from his lips.
“well, i’m still a work in progress, but..i’m not a ghost anymore. or at least i’m trying not to be.”
i'm alright , honestly . everything's just kind of been whatever . didn't really think i'd see you here , though . . . it's been a while since , you know . that whole thing . guess it doesn't really hurt anymore .
❝i wasn't sure you'd want to see me after everything . ❞ she hugs her arms around herself , gaze dropping to the spot over his ribs where she'd held him together with nothing but her mind , and her voice softens .
she senses a familiar mind swinging closer through the dark , she doesn't reach for it ; she just stays where she is , letting @BrandNewThwips come to her . her eyes lift the moment his feet touch the ledge , green with only the faintest >
ember of gold at the edges , and something in her face crumples with relief before she can stop it . ❝you're okay❞ she breathes , a shaky laugh slipping out as she gets to her feet and tucks a tangle of red hair behind her ear . >
