[ This was wrong. This was all wrong. She didn't want this to turn into an argument. Bowing her head deeply, the young priestess stood there, processing her own thoughts. She wanted to be strong. She wanted to not run away from anything. She looked up to Haruka for that reason--that was the woman she perceived her to be. Haruka was strong, she had conviction, and she never ran away from or was scared of anything.
Looking up suddenly when her captain spoke, Sanae looked surprised. The thought that she wouldn't have a home to come back to never crossed her mind, but there was still a bit of relief when Haruka invited her to follow her back to the theater. So she could still accept her, even after all that?
The tears stung in her eyes, and Sanae took another deep, hard breath to keep them at bay before nodding. ]
Okay.
[ She wanted this to be easy. She wanted to be told what to do, how she should feel about all of this, and how others felt. That uncertainty scared her. Knowing that things weren't always so simple or easy to understand scared her. It was so much different than back in Citadel, back in her sheltered convent, where she was told how to train, what she was training for, and the expectations for her were clear.
Nothing was clear here.
Following at a bit of a distance, Sanae walked in physical silence; her mind was a battlefield. Left with her thoughts, the walk back home felt much longer than it usually was. ]
