Cobalt's Heart - session 3

[we_meet_again]

I carry you with me across these
barren lands, stretched dry and dark between
sanctuaries of kindness.

Generous with your warmth,
you have shown me
a path to guide my heavy legs and stumbling heart.

Generous with your patience,
you have shown me
how lucky I was to have something worth mourning.

[She'll have to break a few branches to get the cable out, and every time she does, that snap of breaking wood feels a bit like relief. Like a thorn getting pulled from a wound.]

[Leaves flutter to the floor, and it starts to feel a bit better.]

[You successfully free the black cord.]

[Thank goodness. It feels like a weight has been lifted and she's so glad. She climbs down from the tree with the black cable and then moves to connect it to the yellow one.]

[You plug it in, and the room seems to brighten, like a weight being lifted. The harsh fluorescent ceiling lights start to look like sunlight, instead, gently filtering through the silvery leaves and dappling the floor.]

[The room seems... calmer now, somehow. Cobalt's expression looks less frightened and more like he's simply resting. Things overall feel a little more hopeful.]

[The light has been restored.]

[romanticlove]

[Oh, thank goodness. She looks back at Cobalt, frowning. Moving to crouch beside him again, she rests a hand on his cheek, relieved that he seems more at peace.]

I'm going to go for now, okay? I need to help Wednesday and the others. I'll keep them safe.

[Her thumb traces his skin, where the tears had been marring it. She moves away from him, hands pressed tightly to her chest as she moves back to the exit.]

[Cobalt doesn't reply, but you get the feeling your message got through somehow.]
