Unseasonably Warm [Atreyu]

Valkeyrie sat on her haunches as Atreyu began to tell her story. She seemed hesitant to speak and she didn’t blame the female. Valkeyrie herself was a pool of hesitation that seemed to rarely take any steps forward. The only reason she showed any form of emotion now was because the emotion was not hers to own. The kindness and compassion that rippled through her body with appropriate head nods and responses did not give away any of her own emotions or feelings. Rather it simply gave support to the hurting girl.

”There is a certain type of pain that comes from being hurt by those that you gave your trust” she responded to Atreyu sympathetically, motioning with her head that the girl should carry on. Valkeyrie was calm in the moment, seemingly unaffected by the gruesome undertones that the story was hinting at.
