~ JAYAH ~
Jayah sat in the far corner of the security building breathing carefully—a five count as she inhaled, and a four count as she exhaled, training her body to relax and focus.
She hadn't been able to focus since she'd returned. Except for the moment when Elreth had taken her aside to admit what Jayah had already suspected—that Elreth was already a mother, though still months from delivery.
It was the only time she'd allowed one of the Anima to touch her—she'd been unable to control the impulse to draw Elreth into her arms and hold her as Elreth, with fragile, shuddering words, admitted that she was becoming a mother, and missing her own mother terribly in it.
