You're so cold
but you feel alive
She could feel the truth of his words. Even if she let down her shields and reached for the water, there was too much of it for her mind to touch. Beyond the furthest vestiges of her control there was ever more of it, deep and dark and cold, so crushing that her mind boggled.
Reaching for those deeper depths with her mind, she found herself suddenly caught in his grasp, pulled in closer. Maea looked at him, a bit surprised at the soft tone, the words that did not seem to be entirely directed at the water anymore. She put a hand up, placed it on his bare chest, intending to push away again.
"Sunjata..."
There was reserve in her voice, questions in her eyes as she searched for his gaze. Was he forgetting already that he'd said no?
