                              It’s   suddenly   easier   now   —-   to   breathe.   

All   thanks   to   Saima’s   grace   towards   her,   though.    Respiration   of   ripe   air   between   cherry’d   lips,   and   she   takes   it   all   in   slowly   before   letting   it   out   through   her   nose.      She’s   thankful   they   don’t   judge   her   under   rigid   laws   like   Pharisees’   standards.   They   get   it.   They   get   her.   

❛   You   sure   you   can   handle   my   truth   though   ?   You   sure   it’s   not   too   messy   for   you   ?  ❜   Her   tone’s   gentle   but   as   raw   and   real   as   an   all-consuming   fire:   it’s   intense   because   she’s   intense.   

❛   I’m   cursed,   Saima.   Don’t   you   worry   it’ll   jinx   you   too   ?    ❜  

   

   It seems like more often than not all Saima has to offer is a little bit of grace now and then. If that seems to help others then so be it.Nonetheless, Stella’s words get under their skin a little bit. It’s almost a doubt that they don’t fully appreciate being directed their way. “I can handle your truth. I can handle the fact that you’re cursed – and frankly, I don’t really worry about that. Since honestly, there’s a part of my existence that has been doomed in its own sense anyway.” 

Between posing as an embodiment and wrestling with the ‘cursed’ nature of that kind of existence, being hyper-aware of their eternal separation from those they patron, and just the memories and odd limitations they can feel – curses are nothing new to Saima, let that be known.

“I just would rather have a vote of confidence from you Stella. If nothing else.I know the truth gets incredibly messy – but that’s the nature of such things more often than not.“
