Daggum looked down at Janna and patted her hand in a way that said I trust you, do your thing and then he moved slightly so that V would have to dash through him if she decided to make a break for it.

Daggum

For a few moments Viyara was silent, her back still turned towards Janna and Daggum so that she didn’t see the glances they exchanged or that Daggum moved slightly to the side. Eventually she made a small huffing sound and then muttered a little tersely, “It used to work just fine.” Suddenly spinning around and flinging her arms wide, she exclaimed, “I hate it. I hate all of this. The way I feel and that suddenly nothing seems to work anymore the way it used to.” Her eyes were ablaze with anger. Yet beneath that anger she was not only afraid, but outright terrified. Something she subconsciously tried to hide as it made her feel vulnerable. And in her experience being vulnerable had never been a good thing.

“Because it was a false security, Viyara. It doesn’t work anymore because it never truly worked in the first place. And maybe it’s because you’re not the same person you were back then?” Janna said, her voice curious and forthright.

Her brows pulled together and her lips slightly pursed, Viyara stared at Janna for a moment and then seemed to almost deflate a little. Hugging herself around the middle again, though gently this time, she conceded in a low voice, “Maybe you’re right.” She then exhaled softly and turned around once more before walking a few steps away from Daggum and Janna till she stood right next to one of the trees in garden. Resting one hand against the trunk she remained silent for a little while and then asked softly, her voice just loud enough to carry back towards the other two, “What’s wrong with me? Why is all of this so difficult for me? Why can’t I … I don’t know … be like everyone else? Not so messed up and broken anyway?”
