there's nothing more for me

The discomfort as Saia removed Rava's cloak was obvious, but it would be warmer once it was dry. She would put it back on the woman herself. Having settled down and pulled the black and red woman close, the veiled fae began her song. Not much later, Rava pressed her face against Saia's pale chest and began to sob. The woman wasn't the first that she had moved to tears, but these tears felt different. They were raw and real.
The lithe woman pulled the small fae tighter against her, trying to comfort the crying lady as best as she could. "Shh... it's alright. I'll keep you as safe as I can." Saia continued to try and soothe Rava simply by holding her and letting her release her pent up emotions until they ran dry. She would hold the woman for as long as it took.
After a time, she spoke. "The masters have taken much from me, but I never let them take my pride. My pride and my voice are the two things that belong to me." Saia nuzzled into the top of Rava's head. "Don't let them break you. Even this, you can overcome if you try." She had confidence that Rava could hold a part of herself locked away; a piece that belonged to her alone. That was how you lived in this world. Obey. Do your best to please. Outwardly, give the masters everything that they wanted. But... never give them all of you.
