"Hold me."

If she had looked up, Cara could have seen the surprise in Denna eyes shining brightly back at her, but she chooses not to meet her eyes. Her gaze stays trained to the floor.

Time passes, days blur into weeks easily with the same routine every day. The temple is quiet lately and all that keeps her sane are the hours she spends with Denna. The thing between them is different to all she ever had with one of the other sisters, with Denna, she feels something. And has no idea how to handle that.

"Just this once."

It's not more than a whisper, but Cara's throat pains at every single word. She has no idea where it's coming from but she knows it needs to get out.

Piercing blue eyes just stare at her and Denna's face has yet to show any of her thoughts. They stand alone in the platinum blonde Mord'Sith's quarters, waiting in suffocating silence until Denna makes up her mind.

It's not at all what Cara has expected, when Denna steps finally closer. An embrace full of tenderness, neither of them is truly ready for, so gently, so lovingly, that it brings burning tears to Cara's eyes. She can feel Denna press up against her but she falters for a moment before finally daring to put her arms around the other Mord'Sith. Her eyes close, when she inhales Denna's familiar scent, feels the blonde's warmth soak through her leathers. And finally, she truly feels at home.

"Emotions are weakness, Cara," Denna breathes against her cheek and her skin begins to tingle. "But I'll teach you." 

A moment later, all Cara feels is the sharp, stunning pain of Denna's Agiel pressing against her temple and her world turns pitifully black.
