( rita promises. she promises. and sylvie's eyes well with tears, because she hasn't been given many promises in her life, not in words, hardly even in action. she has been cared for, and cared for well, but she has never been given the promise of any of it getting better, safer, closer... smiling through the tears that blur her vision, she hugs the other girl close once before stepping back, a feeling of weak hope overtaking the rest. maybe it will really be different here, in this place, this strange and wondrous place with technology she doesn't understand and people from worlds she's never heard about before.
the heat returns as soon as they don't touch anymore, which seems to be the way it is now. but she waits for rita to decide what to do with that, it was her promise after all. her decision. )
