There was so much wrong with her. So much that should not be between them. Anu had shut herself out from the world, or at least had tried. There were moment when she had thought that she had succeeded in becoming an emotionless, a loveless being. Nights spent roaming the territory, nights facing a beast that had once held spells over her and shoving them away with violence and hate. Anu had wanted to become that. She had wanted to be a shell of a heart lost to turmoil and pain. But it beat. It thundered within and called to another. It could never be silenced. And the young, fragile being that stood before her had woken it and it beat more and more. It song sweetly to the things Anu had wanted to destroy and shed from her body. She gave them life, and kept them alive. And to her dismay, they felt good in Colibri’s hands. Her words were gentle, held hesitation and insecurity. But they were truth and nothing but that honesty. Anu felt it; absorbed it and she felt her heart soar. If she could make another feel, could make someone want her and bring forth a new life as she felt was blossoming within her own being, maybe there was a chance. But it was getting away from her again, she needed to reel in her emotions, tame her body and try to begin to understand what was happening. Anu held her still, her face, her beautiful face, in palm and fought the urge to bring her mouth to Coli's. Standing, together they fought the rush of rising too quickly and Anu tried to focus as Coli’s sweet voice broke the silence. The smile faded, but only because her words were thought provoking. When? Anu didn’t care. Now, she thought. Grasping her hand and taking her away from the chaos that was brought on by these lands was a true and real option. But Anu stood steadfast, listening and finding that her words were filled with messages that Anu could not decipher. Was she fearful? Of course she must be. She was confused and unsure. She fought the same battles that Anu felt inside. That same insecurity, the hesitation. At lease they were not alone in their struggle. It’s ok, She spoke with a smile. Its ok to hesitate, its fine to be unsure and to feel the fear. It would be ok to visit tomorrow or the next day. It would be all right to find solitude and think hard over their encounter. It was appropriate to struggle with the emotion and confusion. Her voice continued softly along the short distance between them. to come when ever you want. Anu took the woman’s hand, holding it lightly at first and then with a solid yet gentle pressure as they walked. Leaving the garden behind Anu held the flowers in one hand and Coli in the other. Blue eyes looked ahead, feeling the presence beside her, she felt the beat of her heart through her fingertips. Everything that dwelled within would be exposed, someday. But for now Anu let the silence wrap them in comfort. Someday, secrets would be known. Someday was not today.
