Abatement
Jumbled thoughts scrambled around in her head as she woke up. She must have fallen asleep again since she was picked up and carried from the lake. She murmured something incomprehensible, unintelligible to human or youkai ears. Worried glances from a human female skimmed over her awareness, as did the burning gold orbs that measured her breathing.
Why did she suddenly feel so much better when those arms were around her, supporting her, reminding her of their owner's strength and promises? Her blind love made her see only the good in him. She only saw every kept promise, quickly forgetting the ones that were broken for some reason or other.
What broken promises? There were none.
She sighed, resting comfortably for the first time in a while. The air was perfect, not too hot, not too cold. Just right. She felt so much better. Relief drowned voices droned just outside of her hearing, rising in pitch for a brief moment then dropping as a deep growl resounded. She was picked up again, settled onto a warm, soft something. The air was perfect, too perfect to be covered with anything.
