@valorums : falling in love doesn't always lead to heartbreak.
Satine glances at Shi'al, unable to hold the other's gaze for long before she looks down at her hands. Hands that have held on too tightly to responsibility and duty, that have stolen touches in far precious moments. How long's it been since they'd held another? How long's it been since she herself was held?
"Maybe I'm just good at breaking my own heart, then," she comments, voice quiet. "I've always put duty before love, when it comes down to it. It's a sentiment that hardly encourages romance, don't you think?"
