@killershades / the app is yuri haters that’s all I’m gonna say- anywaysss let me add some spicy angst to the reply. (Again)
Sylvia didn’t ask permission. “I’m keeping you alive”
Her fingers snapped up, grasping Kaliah by the chin firm, unyielding—forcing her gaze up despite the female’s weak resistance. There was no gentleness in it, only urgency threaded with frustration.
“Someone poisoned you” Sylvia snapped, eyes blazing as she searched Kaliah’s face for signs she didn’t want to find. “Let me help you, god damn it.. Curse at me all you want later”
Before Kaliah could spit back a retort, Sylvia uncorked the vial and pressed it to her lips, tilting it just enough. The antidote burned on the way down, sharp, bitter, alive and Sylvia watched every swallow like a hawk, counting breaths, tracking the twitch of muscle beneath pale skin.
Only when she was certain the worst had passed did Sylvia allow herself to exhale.
She turned away briefly, movements brisk but not careless “you owe me” she muttered, gently caressing her head that she held in her lap. Eyes watching her every move.
