Redhawk Caldera i've hoarded your name in my mouth for months

wrap here?

 and with the fickleness of teenage heartbreak, blix forgives her nomi just like that. the reassurance is all she needs - for now, until the next crisis she faces, but - in these rough waters she'll take what she can get. and at heart, blix is a homebody. despite her lingering resentments and her still-aching desire to just stay until mother wakes up and tells her it's all going to be okay, she really doesn't want to stay here - it's just, this is where mother is.

 but mother will come back because nomi said so. "yeah," she mumbles and closes her eyes, leaning in to steal one more moment of comfort before pulling back, gaze turned toward the cavern where her mother's body rests. if she is leaving tomorrow, then her vigil tonight must be steadfast. 

 she heads back without a second glance.
