ISRAFEL
She is glad for that moment before they leave the cave, where Reave’s touch lingers on her invisible skin. It does not change her grief and uncertainty at the other cave events, but it ensures that there are not only bad memories tucked away in the shadows of her new home. She intended to do whatever it was in her limited power to help Reave’s future be a kinder one.
They emerge from the cave and Israfel relaxes as she becomes visible once more, finding it strange to think that not so long ago her comfort had been found in shadows and now the opposite is true.
Or maybe it is not so strange at all, as her bright eyes watch Reave’s smile widen before he steps closer. Unaware of the grumblings of his companion, it is easy to believe it is a smile entirely meant for her and even easier to grin back at him. Her gaze widens a little at his question - surprised and delighted that there never seems to be any shortage of wonderful things that Reave will offer to show her. And, of course, like she knew she would - she is quick to agree to anything he suggests.
“Okay.” The world feels like too large of a place for Israfel, but that does not mean she isn't curious to see it stretch beneath her. She'd seen only a small portion of it so far and has no idea just how truly large it is.
Sure that it is the blend of her curiosity and nervous excitement that is causing the fluttering feeling in her stomach, Israfel asks in a quiet, awed tone - her golden eyes never shifting away from him as she stays close. “Can you give me wings, Reave?”
