‘ you have to promise me. ’ for link and vera :)
first blood starters
❛ promise you what? that this won’t happen again? ❜ the way she spoke, the way she carried herself, the way her eyes didn’t quite see the person before her --- vera was tired. her fingers massaged her temples in slow, circular motions and she sighed. ❛ i think you and i both know better than that. that’s a promise made to be broken, ❜ she said dully. ❛ we didn’t sign up for peace; we signed up for WAR. so i can’t promise you anything beyond that i’m trying to be more careful. i know that’s not the answer you want, but it’s the only answer i have. i can’t push myself for more. ❜
