PM to join [Kova's Wishing Well] Breathing In The Rain (Nilika)

[Eada Vine]

Eada stepped onto the towel and peeled off her coat, leaving it on the towel so the water didn't completely ruin Nilika's floor. Her reply caught Eada off guard and she pressed a palm to her stomach. She swallowed back the lump in her throat.

"What makes you think that?" She asked.

But she supposed she was sad. She didn't sit around crying all day or moping about (although, wasn't that what she was doing at the well?), but there was that ache inside her. She missed her parents, missed her home - my old home, she reminded herself. She blinked back the water in her eyes and shook her head slightly. She was fine.

[Nilika]

Nilika taped her chin. "Well, when you touched me I felt it. Yea it confusing at first," Nilika began as gave the clothes to Eada and turned her back. "So why are so sad."

[Eada Vine]

Eada took the clothes and began to undress, peeling the material off her skin and dropping it onto the towel. Nilika felt her sadness? Eada remembered something her mother had told her a long time ago, that Konti have special gifts. Feeling sadness must be more of a burden than a gift, Eada thought.

She slipped on the new shirt and smiled at the wonderful feeling of dry material. "My parents died." She sighed, exhaling all the pressure it had put inside her. "I was born in Ravok and grew up in my parents restaurant. I worked there for years as well, but there was a fire one night." She pulled on the fresh trousers. "I don't know how it started. My father was a cook, so he probably didn't properly put out one of the ovens." She shook her head. "I was so lucky. I mean, I never left the house at night, but I'd had a nightmare and was feeling hot and trapped and..." Eada shuddered. "So I went out for a walk and when I came back." She couldn't hold back the sob anymore and hot tears rolled down her cheeks. She crouched down on floor and cried.

[Nilika]

She shifted back and forth on the balls of her feet. Nilika wasn't used to people crying and didn't know how to comfort them. Looking around the room, she put on her gloves and long sleeved shirt on top.

She sat on the wet towel and hugged the crying girl. Nilika couldn't really relate to Eada. She never lost a parent or friend. Making sure that their skin didn't touch, she rubbed her hand through the other's brown hair.

"It's okay. Let it all out," she whispered. One thing she did know was that just cause something happened a long time ago doesn't mean it healed.

[Eada Vine]

Eada inhaled. It was shaky, but deep, and helped pull back her tears. She sat up and wiped the wet from her eyelashes. She smiled weakly. This was so embarrassing, but telling the story about her parents had brought it all back to the surface. She hadn't told anyone about it before. "Thank you." Eada sniffed.

"I don't..." She sighed. "I'm sorry. I mean, I don't even know you and you've invited me in and comforted me." She smiled again. "Is there anything I can do for you?" She felt she owed her something after Nilika gave her clothes and let her sob on her apartment floor.

[Nilika]

She tilted her head cutely. The other lady wanted to pay her back. At first Nilika wasn't going to ask for anything in return, but now looking at Eada. She knew that the young woman was still upset over her parents. Then an idea popped into her head.

"Friendship," Nilika chirped out. Yes this was an outstanding idea. This way I can keep an eye on her, she thought.

[Eada Vine]

Eada grinned through her tear stained face and squeezed Nilika's gloved hand. She understood now why she wore the gloves, to protect her from the misery of the world. Like Eada's sadness. Friendship would work for Eada.

"That sounds great," she said and rubbed her eyes again, ensuring that no tears was still there. "Thank you so much for everything." She stood up and gathered up her wet clothes, peaking out through the door. It had stopped raining, for now at least. She turned back to Nilika. "I'll see you soon then. I'll return these clothes as some point too."

She smiled and turned back to the street. Her chest felt lighter and her mind clearer, wasn't that why she came out for a walk in the first place?

OOCI hope your okay stopping here. I just thought this is a nice rounding off point, so they can have lots of threads in the future! (Of course, feel free to make a final post from Nilika's view point if you want!)

[Nilika]

Nilika smiled and waved as Eada left. Once she was gone, the young Konti looked at her floor. Water was everywhere. She sighed, I guess making a friend was worth it. She went ahead and started cleaning.
