IC VIII Lost in the Flood

[CWater]

Natalia watches as Mithril turns away and goes to sleep. Slowly, she lowers her arms and sort of holds herself lightly. She needs the contact right now, and it hurts that Mithril rejected her again, hurts like a sliver of ice in her chest.

EDIT: Natalia looks up at shiny and Rhenner. "Shiny...Rhenner...I'm sorry."

Rhenner sighs. "Natalia... I'm not angry with you. I'm..." He pauses.

Yes, what am I? Disappointed? No, not really. Or maybe a little, but that is not important. It's more that..

"I'm worried."
