how did you survive? - G, outis & gregor
April 20, 2025 at 09:28 AM
“How did you survive?” Gregor’s voice is quiet, heavy with the weight of the war past and looking to attempt some sort of moment of connection between veterans, but Outis only smirks, her pride sharp enough to cut. “There was no way I wouldn’t,” she says, the words armor for the ache she never lets anyone see. She doesn’t look back at him, even as he grumbles something distant, perhaps disappointed—doesn’t dare let him glimpse the shadow of what survival has cost her and why.
