"To Err is Human" (Commission by Kitfox-Crimson)
It was a good minute before she finally simmered into a little sigh, her arms falling away, laying limp to her sides, and she stared hard at the floor. Her chest shuddered slowly with her breathing, as the murmurs and whimpers were quelling, feeling that drain settle over her. Sy might have suspected she'd rather fully regress from talking to him, a silence hanging in the air for as long as one would bear... But then... "N-n-no..." Like a great weight beared on her head, she tensed her neck to pull her gaze up to his again. "No... It's... It's not that..." Her hand reached up, so slow, like she had to push through a flood of her emotions. Under his chin, he felt those delicate finger tips pressed so light into the sides, her palm flat on his windpipe. "This..." She clawed her fingers against him, but only just, only raking at his fur. "This... Is what I remember I did. When I... When I..." Her words started to shudder again. "You... You should have no reason... None to look at me like that..." Her eyes tried wavering away but her neck flexed hard to keep eye contact. "As... As easily as opening a jar... I could... I could... Oh God..." ...she made a croaking gurgle... "G-g-god... I'm so terribly capable of... Of that." Her hand fell away from him, being drawn to her own gaze which finally broke from his.
Syruss remained silent, watching and feeling everything tumbling from her, as though somewhere inside a dam had burst. *Jana…* he thought, something welling up from within, *you… don't even…* Slowly, gently, his hand reached to her cheek. "Capable… yes… but you didn't." His brows furrowed gently, "...and this is only further proof… you are beating yourself up so much…" he leaned a hint closer, "...because you think, you feel, and you hurt like we all can and do… " He sighed slightly, "Back then, you were not as grounded and aware as you are now, but you shoulder the burden of those actions…" He offered a small smile, "To Err is Human, after all." His thumb gently brushed along her cheekbone, "And, apology accepted, by the way."
A brilliant rendition of a scene from Chapter 2 of The Broken Road, the character-driven RP turned story written by yours truly and my good friend
