[she's done something to help already, at least. with the horrors passed, at least for now, she feels slightly more comfortable pressing her hand more definitively against the back of this woman's head. pressing the smaller woman to her chest in a way that nestles her enough to make anna's heart ache. holding her in a proper hug. there is intimacy in intimacy itself, as it turns out.] Do you need to... go to that island you were showing me? Or something?
