Wayhaven's Update+ this week, a moment that showcases how even when A tries to be openly romantic…it never quite hits. They could do with some lessons from N or F, lol!
I eye Adam/Ava. "Then why not?"
"Because it would mean leaving you," he/she states suddenly, as though the casual admission is something I should have been expecting.
My heart beats with a hopeful pulse that spreads through my entire body. "Oh."
"We do not know when Li-Sar might appear again. You may have your powers for now, but that doesn't mean I do not want to help protect you whenever I can," he/she explains.
"…Oh." There's something so encouraging yet so cuttingly disappointing in his/her reasoning. "Well, we should probably get this over with as fast as possible to avoid that."
