Totoka River intention, retention, it's all in your head

Ugh. Feelings were gross and Haoming wanted nothing to do with them.

But his advice was duly noted. She wouldn't be doing anything like this again anytime soon. Haoming shook her head and put those walls back up, clearing her throat and straightening her posture back up. 

It wasn't worth it.

"Th-thank you for teaching me," she stated calmly, and promptly turned around. The idea of taking the fish with her and leaving him to struggle on his own briefly crossed her mind, but she had no need for that fish, and maybe it would keep him from starving to death. Not that she should give a shit about that, but... she'd heard Nuwu talk about forgiveness too many times to be that mean. It was a gift for him, and if he truly was hungry, maybe he'd take it. 

She took a deep breath and turned to leave. 

Haoming's exit unless stopped <3
