    Summary

    Nicole finally finds someone who listens to her yapping.

    🍃

    Nicole tucked a strand of her hair behind one ear. "I used to talk to fill the quiet after... after the curse. When the others fell silent forever, became those drifting wisps. I talked so the world wouldn't forget what we were. What I still am." Her voice dropped. "Sometimes I wonder if I talk too much because I'm afraid if I stop, I'll fade too."

    Varka shifted, armor creaking softly. He reached out and caught one of her hovering hands before she could pull away. His gauntlet was cold iron, her skin glowed warm beneath it, delicate as starlight made solid.

    "You won't fade," he said. "Not while I'm here to hear you."

    “Who’d ever have thought,” Kaeya began, a theatrical lilt in his voice; “that the great and fearless Varka would be reduced to this? So utterly, completely down bad for a girl!”

    Summary

    He looks up at her approach and she realizes with a start that he's quite pale and shivering under a sheen of sweat, as the evening wind blows through the open sides of the wagon.

    She also noticed with a pang of sadness, that the visible part of his chest is simply covered with scars. Such that she feels a wave of sympathy for what this steadfast human must have had to endure to be marred so extensively.

    Nicole and Varka have a little heart to heart. Short and sweet.
