#omg sorry i YAPPED so much i was really feeling noir detective in this chili's and couldnt shut up

[detectice]

sender reassures receiver with a squeeze of their hand. from zephyr. @svartr

heart heavy, aching, THROBBING. the sound of familiar rain starting to fall against the ground. docktown was quiet -- too quiet now that the venatori had made a house a home here. zephyr must have sensed the quiet tumult building inside of her because her focus was ripped away from the inner turmoil the moment she felt a touch against her skin. the urge to flinch, to rip herself away from a comfort that she didn't feel like she DESERVED. eyes did not lift, but her shoulders fell.

"it's starting to feel like i've fallen in this WELL and every time i think i've found the bottom, it just keeps getting deeper and deeper. like i'm scratching and clawing my way up the sides but instead... i just keep falling further down." she's said too much, divulged more than she wanted. a sigh.

"we should get back to work. dockton won't fix itself."
