It was a lot to take in, so much all at once, she just stood there in silence. Running away had always been the easier, selfish option, and she'd known that all along. There was no excuse for it really-acting as though her absence wouldn't be noticed like that. Hoping the world would just let her fade away, be forgotten like a joke that just didn't land right. Kaija had always been there for her, as much as she could anyway, and Ophie had in essence spat in her face, left her worrying and alone when-it wasn't the right thing to do. Or the kind thing.

Ophie had always struggled with a lot of things. With feeling enough, the weight of her name and the meaning of it, too heavy that it was just easier to eat her worries away. And once she'd started she couldn't stop; found herself spiralling with no end in sight. And in the few moments she could finally draw in fresh air Kaija had always been there, even when they'd gone to climb the Maw together she'd waited and been patient. Hadn't made a big deal of how slow she'd been, or said anything about the embarrassing state a slight incline had reduced her to.

If that wasn't love then what was it?

And yet Ophie hadn't known, because she hadn't wanted to assume at the risk of being wrong or mistaking kindness for something it just wasn't.

"Kaija I'm.. I'm really sorry. I didn't know and I-" Her eyes stung, the teal extra watery. "Can we sit a little? Please. Don't make me go." She was near pleading, desperation tinting her tone as her paws shifted the weight back and forth, a nervous bounce with energy she didn't know what to do with.
