[Her hand stalled at that junction of ankle and foot, letting up on the slight pressure. Fang sucked in a steadying breath, her eyes fluttering shut and that heartache swelling anew. It was her turn to mourn; for one so clumsy, Chariot had been so light on her feet. No matter how often she was told it wasn't her fault, no matter if Fang learned to embrace that, she would irreversibly be part of this injury.]
[Her hand passed on. Fang's breathing became deliberately steady, trying to neither fight nor stifle the incoming emotions, just... experiencing them. Fang forced her eyes open to watch as her hand traced the new contours of Chariot's foot. Her other hand, still cradling Chariot against her shoulder, started idly rubbing circles against her skin. Fang would learn to live with this without flinching away.]
[ That ripple within the Bond... It shined light on something Chariot had missed before, why Fang was doing this at all. It wasn't just curious fascination with the state of Chariot's leg, or what she felt, but instead... ]
Yes... [ She whispered, shifting in to press light kisses along Fang's jaw, encouraging her, giving her affection and comfort, to keep going into that darkness, and to know Chariot was there with her to experience it.
She would learn... they both would. It was part of her now, but that didn't mean she had to be ashamed of it. ]
