Hushed Willows till she said that she sounds just like sarah vaughan

The woman says Seabreeze’s proper name and she flinches, looking at the ground. She’d forgotten (sorta). The other woman never corrected her if she used it and she struggles to keep the pieces together most days. Qilaq hardly notices the improvement other than physically feeling better, finding frustration when her mind can’t keep up with what she wants.
 
Lily (right?) goes on to say that she is safe and nothing bad will happen and Qilaq watches as the other keeps her distance, then, and slowly sits down. Qilaq is quiet for a few seconds following, slowly lowering down to the ground in a sphinx position, tail curling around her leg. She doesn’t really know what to do with the other but she feels like she can’t tell her to leave her alone and sooner or later, she has to meet them? Could she take Seabreeze’s care and help and then slip away without a second thought? Where would she go?
 
“Th-thank you,” she says, several moments later, pale eyes dropping to look at her feet.
