Kick Over the Traces

"Okay." Sorey can't help the slow grin crawling into place over his face, moving closer and leaning on an elbow so he can stretch a hand out to Vahvuus to shake. This is what he'd wanted from the beginning; them talking, being equals. Maybe they're not quite there yet, and there are more mysteries than ever to unravel and he's beginning to wonder about the integrity of the Abbey...but now, finally, he has someone. Somebody he can trust. Not because Vahvuus is bound to obey him, but because they came to an agreement together. "It'll be a pleasure to learn more about each other, together."
