Scraping along the surface of throat, touching along it with savage ache, soft the sound trailing after it. Difficult was it to speak of such being the effect of illness, unknown as it lingered in the structure of lungs and made ragged each breath, crackling edges breaking apart, or affect of a body grown weak, ill timed the arrival. Chance of something of a mix, aspects of both drawn together until there was no space within the seams of it, lingered upon the edges.
“I-I'm...okay,” shaky smile touching about lips, struggle to force about it the slight curve. Lie. It mattered not the state of physical body, this vessel which bore a creature that should not have been, upon the structure of mind and heart the damage was written, empty the hollow within, screaming void of darkness touching upon the strands of idle thought. Flutter of wings, extension of them to release the tension about tiny shoulders, before uneasy steps drew the youth towards Marina. Warm is she, presence gentle and kind, sigh parting lips as they lay near her.
