bloody_wagner's universe
Joy stood at the window and looked out through the crack in the curtain, ears perked to catch all the sounds of the place. Behind her on the bed Kurt slept, occasionally making small sounds in his sleep.
One ear went back as she thought of the day before, when she had met with him in a meadow intending to offer a friendly ear in his time of sadness. Instead she'd accidently inspired an avowal of love from the drunken man; one that she was under no delusions that he would even remember, much less uphold, when he woke. She looked too much like her mother's people for any Terran human, no matter how altered physically themselves, to see her as attractive. It was a fact and it didn't bother her.
Her thoughts turned then to her family, whom she hadn't seen since the World Outside Time had sent her away. Intent on the memories, she forgot about the one she was protecting and everything else around her.
