Title: Refuge

Prompt: Strange Bedfellows

Thayet had long considered Tortall home; she was content with her new life, content to forget what it hurt so badly to remember. To move on. But even twenty years, even the safety of Raoul's arms- Buri knew it would never be enough to make the horror fade.

The woman's stare still held remnants of the haunted look that would always be Sarain. Like a shared secret it drew Buri in, a ghost of connection weaving between them. How would they feel against her skin, those hands which had buried a husband and children?

They were refugees, seeking refuge together.
