[ ...

She opens her mouth, closes it. She sighs. ]

That, and. In general.

[ ... ]

My sense of touch is dull.

i still fucking hate you ara

[constellates]

[her brow furrows at that]

It's dull....? Why? Because of this place?

you can blame jan now

[sadiskick]

No. It's always been that way.

[ That's part of what makes her so belligerent. ]

For as long as I can remember.

absolutely terrible

[constellates]

... is it part of being a goddess?

[sadiskick]

No, it's a part of being me. One of my sisters is the opposite and is very sensitive to touch.

[ It's an effect of how they were born is Meltryllis' best guess. ]

[constellates]

[she frowns a little bit before

offering out her hand?]

So if I were to hold your hand...

[sadiskick]

[ Her eyes widen fractionally, and there's a complicated emotion that crosses Meltryllis' features, something not quite forlorn.

Her smile doesn't reach her eyes. She holds out her hand, still covered by too long sleeves, but doesn't reach for Anya's. ]

I wouldn't feel your hand holding mine.

[constellates]

[ . . . she immediately starts to reach before - ]

... May I try?

[even if only for the attempt]

[sadiskick]

Do as you wish.

[ She doesn't move her hand away. ]

[constellates]

[she'll be careful then, moving melt's sleeves away from her hands, and then taking one of melt's hands in both of her own, careful about it]

... It doesn't feel warm at all?

[sadiskick]

No. I don't even feel my own body warmth.

[ So feeling Anya's... would be a miracle.

But the gentle gesture does mean something even if Meltryllis won't comment on it. ]

[constellates]

[ah, that looks like it frustrates her a little bit]

... I will try to find a way.

During scary times, everyone should be able to have the chance to know what it's like to have someone hold their hand.

[sadiskick]

[ Something in her eyes softens, becomes vulnerable for the briefest second, and when she smiles, it lacks a little of its usual edge. ]

It's fine, Anastasia. I'm not scared easily.

[ Even if she can barely feel it, just having anyone wanting to hold her hand is enough. ]

[constellates]

[ . . . . hmm, she looks like she's still not going to give up but - there is something fond in her returning smile]

That's because you're stronger than most of the people here.

I'm glad then... but if you're ever worried, please rely on me too.

[sadiskick]

[ She laughs a little. ]

When will I be worried? When will you say something harsh?

[ It's both a question and and an answer. ]
