She noticed the slight flinch Ara had to her touch, but there was something in that reaction that Athena understood so deeply it hurt. Going so long with no physical contact made even the slightest touch seem so magnified. Athena's situation was a bit different since she still had Tiburtius and Archelus around that would give her a nuzzle or hug from time to time whenever their paths crossed, but it still wasn't quite the same. There was a time in her life where almost every waking moment, and sleeping moments for that matter, was spent at Amalia's side. Somehow their paths had drifted and now she couldn't remember the last time she had seen the red-headed woman. "I understand that feeling," she commented with a similarly sad smile when Ara commented on how it was hard to let go. Athena spent a lot of time dwelling on the past and refusing to let go of what she had lost. "That's the whole reason I still hold on to those bracelets. I started wearing them years and years ago because my father had some and even though that half of my life is all but gone it's still hard to let them go." |
