[hissterics]

[ She puts her hand over Adora's phone and shoves it back down. ]

Don't.

[ She doesn't want to know. It's better to just not know. ]

[dumbjockenergy]

But-- Sabre--

[ Adora needs to know, she has to. could she possibly have failed Sabre that badly? ]

I remembered our promise, Sabre. That was the other memory. We look out for each other. I can't just-- If I failed you--!!

[hissterics]

Promise . . . ?

[dumbjockenergy]

[ does Sabre not remember the actual promise yet...?

Adora steps forward to hold Sabre's face in her hands, pressing their forehead together. ]

Remember the promise in the memory I showed you? That wasn't the first time we made it. We did it when we were little kids. We were so young, Sabre.

[ her throat feels tight. the rush of emotions memories evoke are always a little too much to handle. ]

You look out for me, and I look out for you. Nothing bad can happen as long as we have each other.

[hissterics]

[ She saw it in Kohime's heart. But knowing for sure that it was the same--

She doesn't move away, her voice coming out a little shaky. ]

Guess you really meant it.

[dumbjockenergy]

Of course I did. I always did. I'm...sorry, Sabre. For all the fighting. But I always meant my promise.

[hissterics]

Then-- Then just stay here instead of running away, or--

[ She sucks in a harsh breath, tail jerking ]

I--

[ Need someone right now, she'll never say.

But she's lost a lot in the last 48 hours. ]

[dumbjockenergy]

I'm here, Sabre. Whenever you need me, for as long as you need me. No matter what. Okay? I'm right here.

[hissterics]

[ She shifts to return the hug now, forcefully, claws raking Adora's back just a bit.

This probably means launching her weight forward, so sorry if they tumble to the ground, her bad. ]

[dumbjockenergy]

[ she doesn't mind at all, letting her body cushion any impact for Sabre and holding her crushingly tight. ]

You're my best friend, okay? No amount of stupid fights will change that. And whatever happens, we're gonna figure it out together.

[hissterics]

[ Sabre's response comes muffled against her chest, ears still pinned to her head. ]

If they take you, I'll rip this place apart to bring you back.

[dumbjockenergy]

Yeah?

[ and giving in to an urge she's had since she arrived, Adora runs her hands over Sabre's ears and through her hair. ]

Well, they better be ready for a fight, because I'll be busy tearing it apart to stay with you.

[hissterics]

[ It looks like this is the part of Sabre's wild ride where she just breaks down crying against Adora's chest. ]

[dumbjockenergy]

[ Adora just keeps stroking her hair, letting her cry it out. ]

Is there something else going on? Talk to me.

[hissterics]

[ She cries near-silently for a while, just the occasional hitching of her breath as she tries (and fails) to stifle it.

Eventually she gets words out, but they sound broken, like they've caught on a barb in her throat. ]

Noisy's gone. Req's gone.

[ does Adora even know who those people are, who knows ]

[dumbjockenergy]

[ Req she knows, but not Noisy.

still, it's not hard to figure out they meant something to Sabre. ]

Gone like the other Adora?

[hissterics]

No.

Gone as in not coming back.

[dumbjockenergy]

Oh...Oh, Sabre, I'm sorry. Where they in Zrael?

[hissterics]

Both of them.

[dumbjockenergy]

I wish I knew what to say...but whatever you need from me, I'll do. Okay?

[hissterics]

Just-- don't leave.

Stay here with me.

[dumbjockenergy]

Of course I'll stay. I'll always be right here. I promise.

[hissterics]

[ She's quiet for a long time, saying nothing, barely even moving.

Then she buries her face against Adora's shoulder, grip turning possessive and borderline desperate. ]

[dumbjockenergy]

[ Adora holds her close, a hand buried in her hair as she practically pulls Catra into her lap. ]

Do you want to go to my room?

[hissterics]

[ A small nod.

Sorry fin for the spectacle on ur balcony ]
