[evocation]

You've been in front of fucking cameras for like three weeks.

[She doesn't mean to sound heated, but it sneaks in anyway. Kyna has never put a huge amount of thought into the Quarry—it's just there, a force of nature like the tides. Watching him go through it has been entirely different.

He probably doesn't need more anger, though, so she lets out a breath, focusing on her fingers through his hair. When she continues, it's quieter.]

( If it makes her feel any better, the heat in her tone doesn't evoke much of a response from him. It doesn't really penetrate the fog any more than calmness does.

What does help is the feeling of her fingers running through his hair. It makes a few tense muscles relax, makes his eyes slit to something more half-lidded. Still unfocused, still settled on nothing in particular on the ceiling. )

( A quiet murmur, an easy relent. )

( But somehow he gets the feeling normal's going to have a new definition from now on. )
