[ The spice is a strange experience, opening Kainé's senses up in all kinds of unfamiliar ways. It's wondrous, but she does not think she would care to experience this all the time. Being a Paleblood must be fucking exhausting.

Even so, being able to just be with Anna like this... and with A2—is just sublime. Kainé can feel her little spike of self-consciousness, and truth be told, she's feeling awkward too. Maybe even just a bit annoyed that Anna would think that she would trivialize something so core to her being. Kainé's trust is on a deeper level, and perhaps Anna can feel that sincerity. ]

[ She closes her eyes. Everything feels resonant, significant. ]

If your souls are one, does she... feel the same as you?
