[ The cold stings her face, stings her eyes, but there's something else too. Tears? His words were so raw, so real, that they even made her a bit emotional. She would never understand the pain that he went through, not a single iota, and it hurt to see him like this. She hardly knew him, it shouldn't have affected her that much, and yet it did.
She knew what she had to do, the moment she got him out of those damned caves.
Lux stopped cold, staring at him, taking the breath she hadn't realized she was holding. His words held her, and without realizing, she put a hand to her mouth. Expectations. Obligations. That deep desire to be the person everyone else wanted him to be. That was why she was getting emotional. It was the same. It was so very different, but very much the same.
Letting him scream out his frustrations, she saw him start to quiet, and slowly moved to his side again. Lux didn't say a word, giving him a few feet of space. She was shivering now from the cold, but it hardly registered in her mind. There were more important things. ]
