[ Is this how rabbits feel before hawks scoop them up? Susato eyes her with a critical gaze, picking at all the places she knows must give it away. There’s a moment where Aerith smiles in a playful manner, challenging the other girl into calling her out, as if it would all be some game they could play. Maybe that’s the best way to view their whole ordeal, in the end, but Susato gets the jump on her.
When they connect in a hug, Aerith lets out a little gasp, and it leaves her without her realizing it. The contact, she realizes, is something that she’s been missing desperately, something that she’s been hoping to feel since leaving Oriphi’s home. Walking alone, going to an empty treehouse, ending up caring for herself for days— it’s been a lonesome few days. She lets go of a breath she didn’t realize was stuck in her and reciprocates with an equally ginger touch, placing her cheek to the crown of Susato’s head, and closing her eyes. ]
