The words don't carry enough weight to cover the entirety of what Effy wants to say, but it's better this way. Light, quick, everything about Jason boils down to this, beautiful in its simplicity. Her eyes slide to a close as she feels the scream passing through her, lingering in her chest with all the weight of a promise. That anything which might hurt them, anything that even dares try, will only end up tumbling down in the end, dust between their fingers, ashes at their feet. She smiles, and it isn't the distant smile of a girl overwhelmed any longer, but instead a girl who dares leap forward.
Her hand grazes against his arm (he's not hers, he's his very own), coaxing. "Where do we start?" she asks, even as flames begin to lick at her shoulders, her eyes darting to the side and watching as they reach towards the sky.
