he hadnโt let himself be so gentle; not in a century at least. the world was tough, it broke people down to the last molecule, the only sure case for survival was to become as formidable as the world was. strong, unyielding, calloused at the best of times. subhuman at the worst. there was no place for tenderness in the world that was, only prudence. as he held her there, he drank in the moment, keeping the memory for what was sure to be another excruciating hiatus without corporeal interaction; stupid, but necessary. โ of course i will. i get bloody tired of myself.โ it was mostly a joke, a small bit of teasing to relieve the tension around the sudden fright of sophieโs accidentally inflicted injury. still, there was truth to it; of all the insufferable eternals trent had encountered, he was by far the worst. there was no torture quite like living with yourself for innumerable centuries. โ but eternity teaches you to bounce back from petty annoyances, doesnโt it? even in the human world, time heals all wounds. no matter how tired i get, i wonโt abandon you, at least not until you want me gone. โ his arms fell away as she pulled away from the embrace, a single nod and a soft smile finalizing the sentiment as he shifted back to the opposite couch. pulling free another cigarette, he set it between his lips and reached for his lighter. he lit the end, taking a long, slow drag as the tobacco crackled and burnt.ย โ i would imagine as much. i can hardly remember the last time i hugged someone before today. โย
SOPHIE COULDNโT BE SURE the next time sheโd have interaction like that. be so close to another. itโs why she hadnโt wanted to let go, and it had felt nice. but at the same time it had been a long while.. it felt strange too but the best kind of strange. maybe strange wasnโt such a bad thing after all. in the new world that she had found herself in. at least she wasnโt alone anymore. that was a nice thought too.
thereโs warm, but gentle laughter that falls from her lips. almost resembling something of a giggle.ย โ imagine how i feel. itโs been just me and my own dumb jokes.โ plentiful of moments were it was just her. it had made her appreciate being surrounded by others even from a distance. hearing someone elseโs voice aside from her own.ย โ anyone ever tell you how wise you are ?ย โ itโs inquired nothing short of curious.ย โ i wonโt. i like your company. havenโt you figured that out yet ?ย โ
she pulls her legs underneath her onto the couch, hands resting gently onto her lap. bouncing back to how she is any other time, their conversation prior lingering in the back of her mind.ย โ me too. i also donโt see you as much of a hugger. am i right about that ?ย โ no offense was meant by it. she knew others werenโt like her in that sense.ย โ so tell me wise one, what are you plans for today ? care to join me maybe on a hunt ?ย โ
