there is a part of karlach that will always feel so immensely guilty that she still ... hurts sometimes. physically , but more so emotionally. like here she is with quite a few things that she has always wanted. a caring partner. a tavern and a mini farm. a man that works out in the forge just because he decided sticking around two people he adores was the best option. there is so much love gathered here. as she wanted.

... but sometimes she still gets distant with a thousand-yard stare. she'll still never get back the things stolen from her.

there's a baby goat just gently prodding at her legs, walking around her, being so trusting and curious. it's what jumpstarts her back to the present, it especially works when the goat yells absolutely signifying that dronia has made an appearance. it's maybe then that she noticed she was crying. only because tears have this weird sticky feeling when they're drying. karlach tries playing it off by one large hand wrapping around the goat and the other pressing at a couple of her metal holes.

they did ache though. metal pieces don't get relieved like muscles though. pressing against them doesn't do much.
