Laudna had always felt like the one who had been saved by Imogen. It was nice to know that they had saved each other. The gentle touch and care Imogen always gave her had the warlock melting a little.
As Imogen continued Laudna felt the tears coming back. Laudna waited for Imogen to finish before pulling the other into a tight hug. I don’t know how I feel yet, but I know you’ll be with me the whole time.
The moment she was pulled in, a quiet gasp escaped her lips but she didn’t hesitate to return the hug, arms holding Laudna close, protectively. Always. She simply tells her, the word holding so much more meaning behind it. Fingers dig into the blouse, almost afraid of letting go, not wanting to be far from her. No matter what comes next, I’ll be right by your side through it all. Just, when you do find out how you feel... tell me, alright?
Seconds go by and Imogen just holds her, aching to take away whatever pain or sorrow that was still lingering within. Though a sudden thought rushes in, and she forces herself to look up at Laudna, worry written all over her face. You... you did get to choose, right? We didn’t... I-I didn’t force you to come back?

Laudna couldn’t keep herself from leaning into Imogen’s touch. This was closer than anyone had been with her, both physically and emotionally. Imogen meant everything to her.
I want to hear it. Please. It would be both comforting and sharp for the sane reasons but she wanted to know and not be left wondering what could have been said.
That simple lean, knowing that she accepted this closeness helped to ease her frazzled mind. A smile forming however small, still there from this happiness that was within, the happiness that Laudna easily gave to Imogen. Anything she did or said... the sorceress cherished every single thing. Laudna was her joy, the one she truly couldn’t live without. She nods, acknowledging her request before taking a deep breath. The words were engrained in her memory, the ritual the second most challenging part of her life, the first losing her. You know you saved my life, right? She starts, fingers gently bringing thin locks of hair behind her ear, careful not to brush against the golden ornament that decorated it. ‘f you hadn’t come into town when you did, I don’t know how long I would’ve lasted.
She pauses, eyes watching Laudna out of genuine habit, but also out of love and concern. Imogen was nervous, scared to momentarily relive that moment but it’s what she wanted, and who could blame her? These last few years have been... they’ve been everything. Through it all, through all the laughter, and all the hardships, she was with you. She was choking you. Another pause, the words sinking in once more, voice becoming light and shaky. If you come back, I-I don’t know how you’re gonna feel... I don’t know if you’ll feel free? Or if you’ll feel empty?
Her hand moves back to her cheek, tears slowly building up in the corners of her own eyes. But I want you to know whatever... whatever hole she’s leavin’... I’ll be there, to help fill it, alright? I’ll be there for you. I’m not gonna tell you to come back, I’m not gonna try t-to compel you to come back, because that choice Laudna, is yours now. No one gets to control you anymore, alright? Just... know that I love you, that I’m here. Imogen’s chest feels tight, worried of her speech being too much, too revealing. So she bites her lip, quietly waiting for some form of reaction.

Laudna watched Imogen take her hand, they felt warm even through the gloves in a way that hers never really did. Laudna didn’t doubt Imogen’s words, only that she didn’t feel worthy of Imogen doing so much for her.
Laudna swallowed. I didn’t hear you… It felt awful to admit it. I don’t know why, but I only heard Orym. The halfling was someone she hadn’t expected to hear but hid words were kind and sincere. I should have heard you Imogen, I know you would have said something.
Lavender eyes widen in shock, heart cracking ever so slightly at the confession. Imogen had this feeling that her words were held back, smothered by the dark abyss but she didn’t want to believe it, praying to whatever gods or goddesses that were out there that her friend had heard her during the ritual. This confirmed her fears and what made it worse was how much this seemed to affect Laudna.
I promise you that I did, I was right there the entire time. One hand reaches up to sweetly cup her cheek, thumb gently brushing against the sharp edge while the other continued to hold her hand. It was dangerously close, too intimate of a touch yet she wanted to hold Laudna’s attention, to make sure she felt comforted. It’s alright that ya didn’t hear me, I’m not blaming ya for it. I... if you want, I don’t mind repeatin’ it if you’d wanna hear it?

torntruth:
You know, for someone who has the extremely negative trait of pushing people away when it gets close to the anniversary or she’s caught looking absolutely frightened in the middle of a big storm – Steph can’t with Alex. She can’t with Mikey or Gabriel either, the only difference is that those two boys fought for her exactly like she was a friend worth having. Maybe that’s always shocking. Alex has just been the one person in her life she … can’t fathom losing. Even in Steph’s depressive episodes. Alex is important.
It wasn’t just the music that was helping – that was part of it, it was the fact Alex is important and always happens to put a smile on Steph’s face. The storm is so much quieter and it’s so much easier to forget her mother’s voice or how close she was to dying. Or, all the stupid things that make reliving this so painful. She’d already promised Mikey she’d stop ghosting people and she wasn’t about to do it to Alex, she just needed a quiet corner. She still doesn’t know what to say. Her hands fold together, forehead pressing into knuckles.
Fuck, she’s certainly a bad host right now.
Ever since Gabe died, Steph had been the one constant person in her life. Sure there was Ryan, Charlotte, Ethan, and the others in town, but no one truly had her back or understood her like she did. Throughout all the hardships and bullshit they had to deal with Typhon, Steph always was there, no questions asked. It would have been pretty shitty of Alex if she never swung by the record store. Being there for her was the only option, unable to fathom another possibility, another reality where she was not present.
Tucking the phone away into a pocket, she goes to sit down next to her, arm carefully pulling the other close. Time wasn’t important. It could take minutes, hours, fuck, Alex would sit here for days if humanly possible if it meant that Steph felt safe and comfortable. While the fear was radiating into her, she had been getting better about controlling it, not letting it control her. Taking a deep breath, Alex rests her head against Steph’s shoulder, hoping the wet hair won’t be minded.
“Take all the time you need, I’m not going anywhere.”

Trying to get some replies and asks done, but writing is a tad challenging today. Might go out for a walk in a bit and see if that helps clear some of this writers block.

proelio-procusi:
Laudna as a reaction prestidigitationed the black stains from Imogen’s scarf not wanting the bright fabric to stain. The gentle feel of Imogen in her head put her a little more at ease.
Everything
It was too much to try and put into words at first. Guilt wracked her body., guilt for them having to even come here for her, guilt that she had failed Imogen, guilt that she hadn’t heard Imogen, just Orym when she knew that Imogen would have been just as comforting and there for her as she had.
Fingers moved to pick a poppy out of her hair.
I failed you… I put you all in a bad place…
The sudden wave of guilt that rolled through their connection was overwhelming, unused to the sudden onslaught of emotions from Laudna. Her mind had always been a place of solace, so used to hearing this sweet ol’ melody that was uniquely her own. Now it had been tainted by all the trauma, the torture that Delilah must have put her through. She goes to tuck away her scarf between her vest and dress after the stains vanished, knowing all too well what the cause had been. Even now when she was in so much pain, she was still caring for Imogen.
Don’t. She warns, knowing all too well the spiral she would go down if these thoughts persisted. Don’t ever say that you failed me. In fact it was quite the opposite, Imogen had been the one who failed Laudna, letting her love and friendship be the reason for her untimely demise. We all wanted you back, Laudna. None of us were just gon’ leave ya there. It takes her a few seconds, trying to blink away the sudden tears that threatened to collect. Gloved hands reach out, taking hold of Laudna’s free hand, desperately hoping that she could reassure her.
You know that I’d have gone by myself if I had to. I wouldn’t even hesitate to travel to the ends of Exandria, or to other planes if it meant that you’d get to be here again.
