The little green-haired girl quaked Emia's arms, her knees pulled up to her chest as her body cried out against the exertions she had suffered... She looked so fragile... The way she sat there and shook, almost like a leaf falling from a tree... Emia only held her tighter as she noticed the fear upon her face, almost like she had barely escaped something horrible... Timea glanced up at her, saying something about over-charging... Emia looked down at her precious little green-haired girl as tears welled up in her eyes, the taintedblood doing all she could to comfort her friend... She softly raised a finger to her eyes, wiping away her tears, held her as close as she could without it being uncomfortable or painful... she even softly kissed Timea's forehead in an effort to ward away her sorrow... nothing seemed to work...
"It's okay, Timea..." Emia whispered soothingly but she had no idea if it even was... "It's okay...."
The little girl explained that the markings that had covered her... when they appear, they bring her pain... that things "shattered" and people died all around her... Emia's eyes widened in shock as she heard this, especially since she claimed it would be harder to hold it back next time... There would be a next time? Did this happen to her all the time... The tainted-blood's heart broke as she saw Timea cry in her arms, her hands trembling, her body shaking.... she seemed to be falling apart right there on the floor of the tavern...
"Timea..." Emia whispered, gently taking her shaking hands in hers, intertwining their fingers, a soft glow of magic floating all around their bodies. Emia released a light pulse of soothing magic, one that was designed to relax someone, both mentally and physically... She couldn't stand to see Timea cry... not at all... And so... Emia would do the most bold thing she had ever done...
Emia leaned in slowly, gently squeezing Timea's hands for assurance, searching her eyes for anything that would indicate hesitation... Before she closed the distance and their lips touched... It wasn't much of a kiss really... Nothing to look at but it meant so much... Emia kissed Timea gently, softly, not having much experiance with the act at all so it might've even been WRONG for all she knew... She found herself enraptured in the act, her eyes slowly closing as she pushed a little deeper, kissing Timea a little more passionately, though she could break away at any time.
