Tav

Aseria was frozen, as she felt his hand replace her own. Her ears were ringing, her lips were agap for a moment. No words could follow through.
She couldn't think.

The pressure, caused her heterochromia hues, to tremble as tears swelled. She could feel a lump, bubbling up in her throat.

Softly gripping his wrist. She focused only in upon his words, as he spoke with care and warmth.

Aseria tried to erase the memory her mother imprinted...but, it was only a temporary fix. It wouldn't fade so quickly, but be overlapped? Yes. That was something.

Tav always meant, well and cared more than most. She saw the kindness he was granting her. But, that child within her couldn't completely let go yet. With tears falling, as she tried to hold in what ached. She let out a shaky breathe after his kiss.

" it simmers, what burns. But, it's not a complete fix. I'll try to use this tool you granted me." She said, gently taking his hand and placing a soft kiss on the back of his hand. " thank you."

" and all things I'm grateful for, you know this." She said, as she brought her face, to his shoulder. Still keeping close, as she spoke. But her throat became sore, as the memory still held weight upon her throat. " I just...can't erase the feeling of /her/ hands choking me." She said, before removing a hand; Grazing it along the spots, her body imprinted into memory.

" I can't sleep...my memories, they're haunting again." She expressed, as she reluctantly had her head up, just for the moment to speak. But, immediately she went back to resting her head down again.

" they won't go away.." she murmured in a muffle.

Loosely, Aseria had snaked her arms along Tav's waist from behind. Nuzzling her face between his shoulders. Letting out a frustrated sound from her throat, as she gave his waist a squeeze from her embrace.
