Ouroboros Spine water woman

Ajei hated giving bad news. Hated it with a passion it hurt and it made others hurt and it was something that was not great. Had she been older, she would have handled it more gracefully perhaps. But how could you tell someone with grace such hard things?

Ajei took her friends embrace and held her tightly. Her own throat hurting and tightening. 

I am glad to know you will stay.
