"Lightning was suffering, reaching out to us. But none of us could see it."`Vanille-ff13

The Comfort of A Hero:

She held her head in her hands

Her strong front was breaking

Why did no one understand?

She was reaching out

At least, she was trying to

The others saw her as cold

But really she was suffering

She could feel the tears forming

And as much as she tried to refuse them

They still fell

Into his waiting hands

How long had he been holding her like that?

She didn't know

And she didn't care

She was Claire again

Broken and fragile

Held in the comforting arms of a hero

Held in the arms of Snow
