Only The Strong Survive

Charity
Charity was thankful for the warmth, although every part if her was now convinced she didnt deserve it. "Yeah, I guess..."

Ahanu
The fact that she didn't pull away gave him some hope, and she wasn't standing stiffly like earlier. "I'm sorry I left earlier. And for just misinterpreting everything. And for being rude."

Charity
"There was nothing for you to interpret- I wasn't speaking... I'm sorry," she replied back.

Ahanu
"There was - You didn't need to apologize." Ahanu allowed his head to droop and his face to become buried in her hair. His antagonizing thoughts faded to a quieter backdrop. 

Charity
Having Ahanu take the blame for everything just made Charity cry harder. She wrapped her arms around Ahanu and cried into his chest quietly.

Ahanu
Crap, what did I say? Ahanu didn't really have any words left, so he just let her cry. Maybe that would be what she needed, someone to cry on. His one hand rubbed her back in random patterns. The other tightened it's grip protectively. He didn't move his head from its spot.

Charity
Charity relaxed, her head starting to light from the stress that spun around in it, although she didnt mind for once.

Ahanu
He could have sworn his heart skipped a beat. A smile slipped onto his face and he nuzzled deeper into her hair. "Today has been crazy," he murmured.

Charity
"It'll just get crazier probably," Charity mumbled.

Ahanu 
"I hope not. I'm just waiting for night so I can actually get some sleep. It's been at least a week since I've actually had a decent rest," Ahanu said sheepishly. He was so glad he had met Charity. Though he didn't quite understand why - "What was your dream?" Ahanu asked curiously.

Charity
Charity sighed. "I honestly don't know- it was just a jumble of emotions that I felt..."

Ahanu
"Were they negative emotions?" He felt a little light-headed. Maybe it was just the ups and downs of the day. He ignored it and continued rubbing her back. I wonder how she keeps her hair so soft...

Charity
"No, they were such amazing emotions I woke up in utter shock," Charity teased lightly. "Yeah, they were."

Ahanu 
"That's odd," Ahanu mumbled. He glanced up, feeling unsteady, only to find the interior of the hut spinning. "Charity? I think I'm-" Ahanu's knees gave out and he went slack, slumping toward the ground. Unconscious. 

Charity
Charity let go of him, watching him fall but stopping the momentum slightly so it wasn't such a hard landing. She looked up and saw Auberon come over, muttering some choice words, before he carried Ahanu over to his bed and laid him down.
