He doesn't expect the outburst of emotion from her, not in the form of tears, anyway. She is strong, a true survivor if he's ever seen one. But this narrow escape from hunters seems to have been the straw that broke the camel's back. Turning to face her, Isaac closes distance between them, wrapping large, muscular arms around her form (at the risk of being punched). Stroking her hair, he guides her head to his chest, soothing her as best as he can. "Hey, hey, it's ok, we're fine. Breathe."

It takes her a minute or two to convince herself that he is not the enemy, that all he wants to do right now is help her gather her composure, help her drain all of that she’s feeling inside, all of her anger, all of her fear, all of her frustration, ( and she hates it. she hates it, she hates it ! ). Eventually, she stops squirming under his touch, she was tired, exhausted of fighting, completely worn out. Melting was almost inevitable and so she began to slowly give in. A ragdoll now, only his arms hold her broken figure, her shattered spirit, for if he were to let go of her she would surely crumble at his feet like a 2000 pieces puzzle. She was nothing but a mess of tears, shivers, and sweat.
She clings onto him as dirty nails curl around the fabric of his clothes. A moment passes, she says nothing only a stampede commences to decrease its speed under her skin. A wild heart was trying to imitate the throbbing of his own. ❛ i --- i can’t ❜ she utters in a stutter as words are muffled against his chest ❛ i can’t do this anymore ❜ she repeats or rather, finishes her confession as she slowly pulls back.
Chapped lips are pursed, reddened eyes do not dare to look up at him, instead, they focus on his lips, she’s shown enough vulnerability for a lifetime ——— ❛ i’m tired, Isaac ❜ a whisper. Shoulders rise and fall expressing defeat ❛ you know what i thought back there ? ❜ she swallows. it feels like sandpaper ! ❛ ... for i moment i thought that i was going to die and it felt good ❜ bizarre wasn’t it ? but she had meant every single word. ❛ for i moment i forgot that i don’t die ... ❜
