Letting Nemo run off to play with the other kids, she wrapped both arms around Sabel, squeezing him tight. "Arya...." It began as a protest when she hugged him tight, began as a request for her not to do so, but it was cut off short from the exact thing he was protesting. Tears pressed firmly against his eyes, clouding his vision as his throat constricted with them. He didn't want to cry, not again, not in front of her. He was supposed to be her rock, her supporter. How was he supposed to be strong for her, if he couldn't even be strong for himself. So he sat there, numbly, staring at nothing as the tears threatening to break free turned his vision to a watery, distorted world.
