HE WAS DEFILED UNPURE A MISTAKE HAPPENED TO MAN . For the lashes of pouring phologistion , an acid of FIRE that a c h e d & d e v o u r e d what they could from him , had became VOLATILE & BYZANTINE to ensnare his flesh with liters of charring saliva of their tongues and the capitulating hisses they would remark once his irascibility DWELLED into their balters ; interjecting with a clamor of abrading snark . && yes , perhaps the aura had punctuated it’s enervation with lethargic spurs and drawling burns along his arms & hands that it even t r o u b l e d he to see calloused palms stained in scarrings from such ponderous lashes . But when she sought out his knitted brows, his inclination to drown his hand back within his pocket once more , he actually tensed as a frail pigment intercepted the mayhem with quiescence.

Slowly she traces upon them, carefully as if she was drawing them herself and inking them into his skin. Light so not to place pressure upon sensitive skin but just enough so that her presence will be known. A soft smile lights itself upon her lips after her drawing comes to an end and she pauses briefly.
❛ I think they’re beautiful. ❜
Voice is soft and quiet, yet honesty flows through her words, genuine are her thoughts which nestle in her mind.
❛ You are a lot braver than I am. They tell me that you are a lot stronger than I am both physically and mentally. ❜
