#*elgenia

genia’s like 5’10, 5’11—elain’s probably around 5’5 or so? not a crazy height difference in itself but it is one that distinctly marks elain as a former human. something about the novelty for genia when looking at elain, her stature so slight by way of comparison yet her bearing so elegant, and among her own kind, it is not so often that genia’s the one who has to look down to hold conversation……… something about the way elain looks back up at her sometimes, glassy and distant, then with stark clarity, frowning and blinking and leaning in closer without realizing it…………. something about the sense of kinship genia would feel with elain because, much like with genia/vassa or genia/nesta, elain has had her autonomy horrifically violated, just in a different way than genia so genia can distance herself from her own pain while still deeply empathizing…….. something about both of them finding solace and grounding in the earth, there on their knees together in the garden of the spring manor, the sun warm and the breeze sweet, berries ripe for the picking, bursting runny on their fingertips, easy to lick clean, easier to have someone else lick clean on their behalf………..
