rare though they may be they felt good to hold in her mind, to turn over and over.
there was sorrow in his eyes that was clear despite his words; she did not press him for answers. hybris accepted his words at face value and offered only the slightest brush of her muzzle against his shoulder in the wake of them. she knew his sorrow and she was there, did he ever need comfort.
she laughed too and her brown eyes sparkled with a fresh life. "here, there, everywhere. i had to get away from it all. it was just... too much." her response was vague, she knew, but how could she begin? where could she possibly begin? oh i was in love and i had kids and then my mom kind of invaded my body and took over and then she left and i almost died.
not exactly light and happy conversation.
"but i'm back now," and she laughed again because that much was obvious, right?
a shiver ran the course of her body and she leaned in to him, comforted and reassured by his sheer presence. if magnus was here then it couldn't be THAT bad - and maybe he could give her some answers as to what the hell had happened. in time.
"are you well, magnus? you look... well, you look amazing." the blood rushed to her cheeks and her gaze flitted away, suddenly shy about how brazenly she had spoke. "i just mean.... time has been good to you." |
