listening to mari speak always helped kade to slow down and take a step back from her work. she knew that if mari wasn't there, she probably would have been hospitalized several times bc she buried herself over the head in too many things.

before the accident, she had pursued art with a lust, never breaking in her stead. now years later, her art was found only in her kills. sighing softly she smiled and listened to mari, [color=#C11B17]"I've only seen you worked up once. I don't remember what it was anymore. Mmmm." she merely smiled at the quip, lips curling patiently.

when mari touched her shoulder, the older woman resolutely refused to show any of the desire she had to lean into her hand. okay yep, she knew that she was upset inside now. sighing lightly she ruffled her own hair, rubbing her face with a hand. she smiled off-handedly when offered mari's hand, getting to her feet by herself. if she took the other girl's hand she knew that it would have ended in a tight hug. tonight was the anniversary of that night, and she needed to be with someone or else the memories were going to eat her alive. "Mmm. A back problem would be the least of my issues. But yes. Have you eaten yet?" she responded as she looked at her friend in concern.
