I didn't care about running the Horde or ruling the world. I just wanted to be with you.
[ And that one, enduring wish had gotten lost in...everything. In the fighting and the tears and the chaos.
It hurts, seeing Catra so broken up. Catra, who she hadn't seen cry since they were small. Who always tried so hard to be untouchable, too tough to ever be hurt.
In one swift move, Adora leans forward to press a soft kiss to her forehead before pulling Catra closer to her for a hug.
Adora isn't sure what possesses her to do it. The kiss is something she's seen Queen Angella do so many times for Glimmer when the stress became too much and her friend was freaking out. It always seemed to help when her friends pulled her close and just held on for a little while.
Wrestling, hair pulling, kicking and chasing... It had been a constant in their lives growing up, affection only encouraged in rough and tumble ways lest a soldier seem soft.
Maybe they would have been happier if something as comforting as a hug had been acceptable back then. ]
It does still mean something. It means you were smarter and stronger than anyone gave you credit for. And you're strong enough to try another way, to learn and be better. [ Adora's tears drip into Catra's hair as she weeps. ] Whatever happened, whatever you've done-- We can face it, together. Like we always should have.
