When the tea was done, she poured them in the ceramic mugs and hands one of them to Terra as she listens to the girl speak, "I see. Please feel free to tell me anything if you have something on your mind. We have been friends for a long time," she replied offering the girl a smile.

She sits across from Terra and looks up when the girl calls her name.

"Mm?"

She waits a moment before speaking, "Well, there has been a lot of changes. I've been more less keeping an eye out on everything and perhaps finding a better outcome for all of this."

She replied looking at her mug. Selen's expression became somewhat serious.

Terra nodded her head slightly, her thin fingers curling around the steaming mug of liquid. It felt nice to hold as Terra softly blew across the tea's surface. Her watery blue eyes flicked from the teacup to Selen noticing her change in expression.

She enjoyed talking to the woman however she wasn't sure if she could talk about herself right now.

"Do you think we can really do that?" It wasn't that Terra didn't have hope but it was difficult to see a brighter future now.

Selen sipped her tea in silence as she waited for Terra to speak again. There wasn't much she could say on the matter. Everything was happening too quickly and she was trying her best not to lose it all together. She was at wits' end and the people she cared about were either dying or slowly slipping through her fingertips.

The offer stood If she wished to speak to Selen about anything, but she wouldn't be upset if Terra decided to keep to herself.

"I think so. I want to believe so. There has to be some way, despite all that is happening. Even if it has to be a bit extreme, it's better than standing idly as everything crumbles, don't you agree?"

Terra nodded taking another sip of her tea. She didn't know how long she'd stay but it was nice to steal a few moments with Selen now.

"I want to do something too... but I don't know what."

Everything felt very hopeless.

A few moments was all they really needed and Selen would let her stay for as long as she wanted and leave when she wanted. She trusted that Terra would be okay regardless of how hurt they both were.

"That is the number one question. There isn't much we can work off of for the time being. However, I'll keep looking around. Please let me know if you find anything and I'll let you know as well."

It did but Selen didn't want to think that everything was hopeless. That was not acceptable for her.

Terra nodded her head, her eyes on her tea. She didn't really know very much and she had no information to give. There were others she could talk to but she found it difficult.

"I will."

She looked towards the window and then took another sip of her tea. Her glass was almost empty and as time lingered she felt as if she should go. She didn't feel comfortable being away from her normal routine for long. It was something small but she clung to it as if it might save her some measure of heartache.

That's why Selen's not pushing the matter with her. Terra would be free to do as she wished and Selen would be there with open arms if she ever so needed the woman's comfort. She may not be the best at it but she did what she could. Hopefully, that shined through.

"That's good to hear. I'll always be here if you ever need anything. Please don't be shy. We've been friends for a while now haven't we?"

She replied sipping the warm tea as she reiterated again.

Terra felt her lips curl into a warm smile. "We have." It was a friendship, like many others, that Terra hadn't expected. She looked back at her tea and felt a little bit better thought there was that ever insistent hole in her chest that she knew would never fill.

"Thank you for tea Selen." She looked up and stood. "I should be going though."

Another smiled.

"I promise I'll be back."

"Excellent," she replied a bigger smile on her face as she clasped her hands together as she giggled at the girl's response. She was content with the fact that Terra had agreed with her statement. That was how much she valued the other as an ally and friend. That was true though. That kind of hole was definitely hard to fill.

"You're very welcome and alright, please take care on your way back."

She mused before adding, "Certainly. I will be expecting you. Perhaps, dinner next time or tea and snacks?"

"Yes."

Terra smiled as she stepped towards the door. She paused for a moment looking back at Selen with a warm but worried smile. "I'll make sure to stay longer." There would always be time or at least Terra hoped so.

"Thank you again." With that as her final goodbye she slipped from the others house.
