"The stars listen, so don't say anything you'd regret."
She was happy with sharing the solace, her thoughts quieting down as they leaned their shoulder. She smiled, bathing in the only good memory that was brought to light - her mother's comfort. The memory was quick to flee, however, so she focused on Bai Shi's words as they began to speak.
Listening to them, processing their words which caused her own to stop in her throat, she looked to them with a shocked smile. It wasn't that the words themselves shocked her, no. It was the vow - a similar vow was unspoken but demonstrated by her mother. Thoughts spiraled again, but she silenced them.
"I- thank you, Bai Shi."
