‘Emma’.. or rather Anna, as she had come to realize, sat before Syx, in one of her dazes. She didn’t know what to do, couldn’t possibly figure it out.. but his touch always seemed to help her keep to the real world. It was the touch that assured her that he was real, that this wasn’t fake like the rest of her life.. or at least the life that she had thought she knew. 

She made a soft noise in the back of her throat at the feeling, a soft smile playing at her lips. “..That feels good..” she murmured softly.

Syx didn’t really know what he was doing, but he’d watched a few videos and he adored playing with her hair. So his long fingers soothed through the black strands. Her hair more than anything was her. This wasn’t from her fake life of memories. He would do everything he could to show her that he loved her and not ‘Emma’, she was his Tiger and this didn’t change that. She was wild and beautiful. Her black hair and glowing blue eyes were all her. 

The braid was messy and slightly lopsided, but it would keep her hair out of her face and make it safer to be in the workshop area with him. Syx pulled her close against him and kissed her cheek, “I love you.”
