🔥—— An Open Heart
briidunviing:
🔥—— Before Brii could say any more the already lingering words were stolen right off her already prepared, separated lips. As vague it was, Draykan said the things she herself was about to say next, although somewhat differently… Worthy of healing & forgiveness ? No, not worthy , that she couldn’t see deserving, but she didn’t have much of a choice… Of all the people & creatures around her, Draykan was the only one that was trust-worthy & understanding enough to fill this need a dragon’s soul required.
Her gaze strayed , fingers twisting & turning around each other nervously. “… You do see right through me,” she whispered, voice shivering . & in a way, it was terrifying . But would she ever be open for healing if she didn’t open herself up in the first place… “What you knew before me, was that I need someone… & there is no one else than you ,” Brii’s uncertain gaze glanced back at Draykan’s heterochromic. His presence was always so calming — even when Brii thought there was no such thing as calm left in her.
“You are… Different . Only you can save me.”
“Brii...” He didn’t know what to say to all that. Save her? He guessed it could be worded like that, to be there to help keep her safe from her inner demons, but it wouldn’t have been how he’d put it. Still though... How could he say no to that request? He saw the need for _someone_ in her eyes, and he liked her, she was someone who he wanted to call a friend, if she would open up enough to him.
And here was her asking to do just that.
“I don’t know if I can promise to save you, that’s reliant on both of us...” He reached out and touched her forearm, not fully able to convey through words his thoughts. “But I can promise I’ll try, that I’ll be there for you, my friend. Just...” He cracked a small smile. “Hopefully you don’t walk in on me bathing a third time.”
