We Need to Talk

JP with Omni and Lorem:

She yawned slowly, still a little tired, but shook it off. It had been enough sleep to get her by. She found a waterskin nearby and took a pull of sweet water before beginning a routine of stretches to wake up her body. Pose to pose, she did so silently.

Gonyaul patiently waited. While he had spent the last several hours contemplating things, she had just woken up. It would be rude to not allow her a chance to ease into the new day. While he waited, he prepared what he could of their dried fruits and nuts; a meager breakfast, but one to be thankful for.

He placed it to the side for when she was ready. While he ate, he watched her stretch and couldn’t help but get captivated in how her form looked when it moved and extended the lines of her beauty.

It didn’t change the fact that there was a lingering awkwardness between them at present. Things left unsaid, or ignored, regarding the events of yesterday.

The silence continued as she finished stretching and checked on her bandages.

He wasn’t sure if she was stalling or just being thorough taking her time. He remained patient a little while longer. Once it looked like she was coming to an end he asked.

“Voah, can please talk with me? Much happen and would like to know. Not just short version, but what happen in full?” He needed to know all the details lest he accidentally make decisions without complete and accurate information.

She sat nearby, her eyes downcast as she grabbed a small handful of food to put hand to mouth. Chewing on some dried fruit, she closed her eyes and let out another sigh, resigning to finally meet his eyes.

“I don’t… have clear answers, Gonyaul. Or good news. Where shall I begin?”
