Summary
The first time they had done this, during a few stolen hours when Occtis and Julien had been on watch together, (an occurrence which had surprisingly not ended in violence) Thaisha had been so careful of her, asking permission before kissing any of her scars, (of which there were many) and wanting to know the stories behind them all. Some Vaelus hadn’t remembered, both memories and scars worn smooth by time. Some she had remembered very well; the thick, jagged scars across her stomach from a ghoul’s claws, the thin white scar on her upper left arm from a training accident when she had first joined the Sisters of Sylandri, the barely there scar on her knee from falling out of a tree as a child.
The scars on Vaelus’s face and neck, the ones that Thaisha is kissing now, Vaelus hadn’t been ready to tell her how she had gotten those. Thaisha hadn’t pressed, just traced them with her fingers when she had been given permission, and then followed her fingers with her lips. They’re the most sensitive of her scars, both physically and emotionally.
