silviana/meidani + tender moment

Sometimes, Meidani can almost forget about it all, just for a moment.

She hears novices giggling in the library, she lets the scent of her morning cup of tea whisk her away to her mother's knee, she stares at the sunset reflecting on the Erinin, and she doesn't think, for a brief and joyous glimmer of time, of the Tower fractured, of the war, of all the sisters who are naught but ghosts in the halls.

She crawls into a bed that is beginning to feel like hers, though it is not, and buries her face in the crook of Silviana's neck, Silviana's lips against her forehead almost an automatic motion, and she is home, she is warm, she is safe in the embrace of the woman she no longer wants to contemplate a life without.
