and look for the stars as the sun goes down
each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
"Well done, Astra." As the luxere leaves Amalia's side, the girl returns to the familiar state of rubbing her scarless wrist. Guilt still claws up at her throat; with a sigh, she turns away, looking over the town as he offers gratitude she certainly doesn't deserve. "I'm sorry, Loren. For leaving you. I didn't know what else to do."
She misses his stiffening at her comment, snorting away the question. "Not more than anywhere else," the girl says with a sight. "But I may have burned too many bridges here... especially with Wessex as Queen. And sick." Shrugging uncomfortably, Amalia now turns her dark eyes to the ground. "I've lived here my whole life, but with so much changing... maybe it's time to move on."
She's caught in her own thoughts now, falling into familiar anxiety. Shaking her head and blinking abruptly, the Shield looks back to the lion at last. "What have... what have you been up to, since I saw you last? Have you been back to the Climb yet? Did you try taking the metal back?"
