-Solace, there is a fearful looking Gracia grabbing your hand with both of hers, tugging-
We can't stay out here.
-Looks around, then whispers-
She'll eat us...
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?She thinks we are tasty and wants to pick the meat off our bones.
-Inside, shutting and locking the door-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?She— she scared me until I started leaking.
...
L-leaking emotions, I mean!
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...
She enjoyed it. She said I'd see her again...
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...
I haven't been sleeping much. My bedroom is cold and quiet and scary.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...
-Steps closer-
I want to stay close to you. Please.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Solace smiled, but a different smile this time. This wasn't the ice-cool cocky grin of an inexperienced knowitall bashing brash brains against the world, but something far warmer. It was an older, more refined, learned smile that spoke in of itself about trials and tribulations and, perhaps most importantly, a sense of respect for all outside of its wearer's control.
[forum cryptid: it/it's]-She smiles back, a hopeful smile of a weary soul. A smile of relief, security and a deep, almost overwhelming adoration-
You're the most— the most special person in the whole entire world.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-She started giggling now, embarassed at herself-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Her smile wavers, as though something has crept back into her thoughts-
Why did you do it? Why for me?
-Uncharacteristically lucid and direct, eyed staring right into her-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?People keep... doing it. Morgo and Cloud and you...
How many more am I worth?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

"See you for what you are?"
