We are all so tired / Visit+Temporary stay

embrace my lungs -

oh gods send her a chariot now, she had missed hearing his voice so dearly. blinking quickly a few times, the woman struggled to regain her composure as she was treated to the sight of the man she had befriended. she couldn't help the quick twitching of her lips as they wrangled into a broad smile, laughter bubbling up and past her lips. when was it last that she had laughed? or rather, had laughed so genuinely? she couldn't stop the smile as she gazed at gawain, simply taking her time to acknowledge that her knight captain was there before her.

"and that would be lady elizabeth gwynne to you, ser gawain aushire.", she smiled, barely suppressing herself from stepping forward and touching her nose to his shoulder. she had missed that gentle smile and the warm eyes he had for his knights and his knights alone. she was an honorary member of his order, but that didn't mean she was any less of a knight. taking a breath, inhaling his scent as she gave in and stepped close, attempting to nuzzle his shoulder with her head in warm greeting. there was something calming and reassuring about being close to him, that made all the wrongs feel a little less scary, even if everything still felt so wrong and bad. but there was a small amount of peace obtained there, knowing that someone she knew was there.

the other knights ... she didn't know what had become of them, but she was glad that gawain at least was here. "ah. are you doing well, ser?", she murmured gently with a soft huff of breath, "it's ... it's been a while. i didn't think that i'd see you again.", she was quiet, her voice gentle. "what brings you this way? are ... are you going to stay here maybe?"

- your breath i keep
