This Peace I've Found

Ara wasn't quite sure what answer she'd been expecting. On one hand, she loved Novel regardless of what she had or hadn't done during their time apart. On the other hand though, she feared too what a different answer to her question might make herself feel. Jealousy, maybe? Ara wasn't one to feel envious of others for any reason and yet being apart from Novel for so long had obviously changed them both. She wasn't quite sure what her reaction would be to an answer she wasn't anticipating. And yet.. she said Ara had been her only. Ara let herself release a soft breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding in, feeling a strange sense of relief wash over her. "You've been the only one for me, too," she admitted, even if Novel hadn't asked in the first place. Though she had grown quite close to Athena in the last few years, the two of them wandering together and deciding to settle down somewhere together, nothing had ever really come of it besides her own uncertain feelings. Now, though, it seemed even more clear that she'd be incapable of loving anyone even a fraction of how much she had loved Novel. Nuzzling her gently, she settled down beside her and held Novel close, letting the beauty of the afternoon wash over her and relax her fully. - exit Ara via sleeps- |
