Kade was restless with the weight of limbs surrounding her torso, masculine arms wrapped around her midsection in the most intimate of embraces. The warmth between their two bodies was pressing, like a second set of skin drifting from one fatigued frame to the other in metaphysical waves. In some ways, she was more in tune with his movements than she was with her own, catching his pulse where it thrummed slowly through taut flesh, her fingertips tracing delicate veins while her own pulse was unremarkable, existing only as a dull pounding in her feline ears. The beat of phantom war drums, echoing in time with each wayward thought the Miqo'te harbored. Were it simply a feeling of restlessness, perhaps she might drift back to sleep, but this was more stifling than any bout of anxiety she could recall, her fears rising steadily with each passing second.
When she left, it was quietly, and in a very slow fashion contingent upon avoiding Deton accidentally being woken by his evasive lover's absence. At this point, the two had never managed to flesh out their immediate intentions, and while several conversations between the pair hinted at permanence and stability, Kade wasn't a fool to the strategies of the opposite sex. His goals were always very physical as their previous encounter could attest- and beyond that, they didn't know one another well enough to decide. Rather than bring this to light in a constant regurgitation of facts and fears, she simply left him to his own devices at the end of their evenings together, and when she missed his warmth on her cold walk through Foundation, Kade reminded herself that there was no further loss in admitting defeat. Eventually...
She might stay.
The summer months brought a thaw to the highlands, snow banks waning to make way for greenery in patchy spots, the floral blanket drawing life from the soil while Kade's own machinations drew only contempt from her peers. Those outside Coerthas, past Gridania and her forefather's Gyr Abania, to all that was claimed under the infamous banner of her adopted countrymen and empire- Galemald. Where the sentiment of appreciation may have been lost on the greater population of Eorzia, A'kade cen Destros had been given the freedom so contagiously promised by the Grand Companies at large and while the most recent and lofty goals chased by those in power within Ishgard weren't always the case, her past self had taken little into consideration when signing away her life. Choice, as she was reminded regularly, was never singular and no matter what decisions her siding with the Garleans lead to in the future, she had always been given a choice. Her choice then was to ignore the messages being fed through their usual channels, causing distress from her Praefectus Castrorum liaison.
By the light of dawn hours, sometime after receiving the aforementioned transmissions, Kade was dreading the eventual reprimanding from the Praetor as her legs eased her to the ground. Plucking loose reeds from the riverbank, she ignored the snow beneath her rear while pocketing the plants, their water slick appearance hardly a deterrent for the Miqo'te. The sooner she finished working, the sooner she could return to the welcoming shadows and familiar lips these recent weeks had brought into her life. She often thought of Deton when she was away from him, be it in a sort of hazy light or as the vivid recollection of their countless meet ups. Sometimes, she made the mistake of dwelling on how enraged her companion had been in the alley, and it brought a bubble of hatred rising up her esophagus that she hadn't enough willpower to swallow. Unspoken betrayals committed by both. Her gaze flickered across the surface of the stream, taking note of lingering ice cresting in the degraded shelves along the banks.
It's hard to miss the desert, she realized then while alone with her thoughts and her several tasks planned for the day. One often misses their home, but there hasn't been a home quite like Ishgard for me. None worth thinking about, at any rate...
One isn't allowed to speak. One may listen when spoken to, but otherwise, one didn't listen. One may eat when fed, but otherwise, one didn't eat. One was property and property has no rights. Property is owned. This one has an owner. This one has no rights. This one is A'kade Destros.
