"Empty husk? What do you mean empty husk?"
The island that Xra and Diana were on was already as quiet as it could be. There was no presence of anything else other than them; but as the tone of Xra's voice started to show her desperation, even the heavy leaves that rustled with the wind seemingly stopped moving.
Even Diana remained quiet; her eyes were still completely calm, watching as Xra's shoulders slowly dropped.
"What are you saying, Caitlain?" Xra approached Diana and placed both her hands on her shoulders. Diana, however, still remained quiet even as Xra looked her directly in the eyes.
Diana didn't need to speak; just by Xra's actions alone, it was clear that she already knew what Diana meant. And so, Diana just returned her gaze.
"No… no," Xra shook her head as her grip on Diana's shoulders tightened, "That's not true, no…"
