[ SPOILER ] “Diel Fin’al Thalas” - Chapter 14
Jaina’s voice was soft, inquisitive. “Is the reason you haven’t slept in so long because you did not have anyone to share a bed with?” Because she could understand then why the idea of sleep would be off-putting to Sylvanas, and thus wished to avoid it.
“No, I— had Kyra,” Sylvanas admitted, which made sense; Kyra certainly seemed willing to do whatever Sylvanas needed to make her comfortable. The elf pushed herself off the wall she was leaning against, breaking eye contact as she spoke and walked. “She is big enough that it mimicked the weight I was used to. It was only once, as I needed to sleep but… could not, without others. Signe allowed her to do so as it was the only way I would rest, but I am sure she regrets that decision now, as it is the reason Kyra learned she enjoyed physical contact.”
“Oh,” Jaina realized, feeling a little useless in that regard now, considering… “If you prefer weight like that, then I am sure I was not a good substitute.”
The corners of Sylvanas’ mouth twitched as she began to lay out their armor. “You are… not small, Jaina.”
“I am not as big as Kyra!” Jaina protested, feeling strangely self-conscious suddenly even though she knew Sylvanas enjoyed her body. The woman was absolutely obsessed with her curves and was not subtle about it.
“No, you are not. I did not mean that to sound insulting; your size is… appealing to me, for a variety of reasons,” Sylvanas assured her, and the base of Jaina’s abdomen tightened as she pursed her lips, trying to ignore the feeling Sylvanas’ acknowledged attraction gave her. “Regardless, it is not necessarily the weight that I need; you were a sufficient sleeping companion, if you are concerned and need the reassurance.”
Jaina forced herself to roll her eyes, for her dignity’s sake. “I am not concerned.” It was then that she realized what Sylvanas was doing, and as she took a step forward she told her, “I can get my own armor, you do not have to—”
“I am already over here, and it takes minimal additional effort,” Sylvanas interrupted, as though the other woman’s protest was ridiculous, and perhaps it was. Still, Sylvanas had never done anything like that for her before, and it was then that Jaina was reminded of their conversation the night before, and how Sylvanas was ‘regretful’ about not being a good wife. Perhaps this was her attempt to rectify that— it was something small, but it showed that she thought about Jaina, and not just herself.
“Diel Fin’al Thalas” - Chapter 14 will be released Saturday, May 29th.
