It is so easy, so natural, to match her step to his once Terran has caught up. Ever since they had gotten back home a smile had been stuck to her lips most of the time. Today isn’t an exception to that, not until a more touchy subject is brought up. Jinju’s walk falters and for a moment she just stands still, looking ahead where Terran stands.
Time is a strange thing. It feels like seconds tick by, that she silently stands there lost in thought for hours, while in reality it is only a very short moment. ”Some have..” she eventually murmurs in reply, her ruby eyes glancing away from Terran’s black and golden form. She hadn’t yet brought it up, partially because Jinju doesn’t know how to, but also because of she’s afraid what she might learn. Simple things could easily become very complicated.
A soft sigh and then she’s walking again, slowly crossing the distance between them as she catches up. Her muzzle brushes over his shoulder, then she hesitantly reaches out to his wings. ”I.. was there when you grew them, was I not?” she murmurs softly as her muzzle gently touches the golden feathers. Her lips twitch ever so slightly, then her ruby gaze moves to meet his amber one.
This was an easy start, this they could talk about safely, right? Jinju hoped they could, there was no way back now. But she’s not yet ready to learn about more things that had popped up in her thoughts over the last couple of weeks. Like Ruan and Reagan, for example.
