FOREWORD INCOMING !! meme ? !! written by @empaethys
ahmya’s glasses slide down the bridge of her nose, the faint glint of her eyes visible over the rims as her brows lift—an unguarded flicker of surprise. her hand rises instinctively, fingertips brushing the space just above her chest as though steadying herself, while the other reaches out delicately to accept the charm being offered.
" for me? " the words slip out softer than her usual tone, tinged with disbelief, though the surprise quickly curls into something gentler.
her lips play at the edges of a smile, small but unmistakable, fragile in a way she rarely allows. " i— " the thought cuts off, caught in her throat. she can’t bring herself to say what she truly thinks, not to a child. not the truth about how little faith she has in such protections, how charms and trinkets could hardly hold back something like her.
so instead, she inclines her head slightly, voice smoothing into polite warmth. " why thank you. hope it work well. " the hand without the charm comes to offer a rare public display of affection, as ahmya tucks a few strands of hair behind luna's hair before patting the side of her cheek affectionately with a warm thumb. the smile lingers, fragile but present, as her fingers curl protectively around the small gift.
