i'll save you an echo from the hall

With ever sigh he uttered she knew he thought that same as her, how was it so easy to fall into his embrace. Still she was amazed, how fast had she given in to his touch, his empathy? The comfort he offered her tired soul, the affections she wanted internally had been offered and she had taken it, easily. She didn't understand how quickly their relationship shifted from stranger to.. something so much more. She didn't know if she could describe it even if she wanted to. This was so much different than how she felt with Solo. All of her emotions were super charged, and she didn't know how to fully process any of them. She only knew how safe he made her feel in his arms.

He'd keep her there, just like he'd said, unable to remove her from his grasp. She could feel his passion, though she felt herself craving that she also felt a nervousness within her that tried to comprehend a future, not that she could even look into the future with the past weighing so heavily on her mind. "Come home with me?" She would not expect the question he'd offer her. He wished her presence for the night, but he would see her back to Ebony soon after. Surely no one would miss her for a night? Voltage couldn't let go and the last things Gaia wanted was for him to. She hadn;t felt anywhere close to this alive since before losing Solo. Her emotions though had never been so conflicted before. Not that she was even debating about telling him no. She would lean into his touch, "For a night." She would whisper easily, not hesitating at all to let him take her home. What happened tomorrow though, when they really were made to part? She did not look forward to that moment as she fully appreciated his current embrace.
