hey so my kinda gf lives here?

Kaija's brow was furrowed tightly, even as she began to speak, spilling out all her feelings in a big nasty pile of what felt like garbage. Though she tended to just wear her emotions plainly for everyone to see, when it came to these more complicated things, it was much harder to figure out just what she wanted to say. Why hadn't being a good friend to Ophie, and loving her, been enough? Why did it all have to be more difficult than that?

She somehow found a way to keep the tears from really coming to fruition, though they burned hot in her lavender stare. Which had long since left her, instead drifting to survey somewhere in the distance, entirely unfocused. Kaija didn't want to succumb to being a crying, emotional mess. A few slow, deep breaths helped still her racing thoughts, at least temporarily as he tried to remain calm.

"Yeah, sure," she said finally, after not very long consideration at all. She'd never turned Ophie away, never even really acted like she ever wanted space from her when they were together, and she wasn't about to start now. She moved slowly to find somewhere that felt more like a stopping point to sit, trudging through sand and sparse vegetation as she found a shaded spot for them to sit together and talk.

And then she stopped and fell back onto her haunches, eyes fixed on her front paws as she tried not to steal a glance at Ophie. Being near her though with all these emotions felt hard though, and instinct was to move closer to her. After a moment she did just that, shuffling a little closer to her and letting a forepaw drift closer to Ophie's own.
