Agathe smiled and held out one of her hands. "I'll let you place my hand if you wouldn't mind." She took a breath as she remembered something. "Oh! I had offered you a back rub earlier today, I think. If you'd like me to do that still..."

"That'll work. Do you want to do that now and when I run your back you can run my scales?" Sasha offered, moving closer.

"That sounds like a fine plan." Agathe got up onto her knees so she could be a little higher to reach Sasha's shoulders easier. "Would you want to tell me more about your life here on the island? The happier parts?"

Sasha smiled, settling in for some relaxation. "Well, growing up with legs,I ran as much as I possibly could around the island. I helped mama plant stuff in the garden, fish and just be a kid. I have never been afraid of thunderstorms. Watching the ocean churn and bubble seemed...satisfactory? Like I was happy when he got upset. Most of it is just nature at work but yeah. Being tucked into bed was always fun. I slept curled up with my mother sometimes. Safe in the coil of her tail. Other times I slept in bed. She would sing and read me stories. I have lived through those stories. And she let me reenact my favorite parts."

Agathe gently began kneading Sasha's shoulders, being careful to not apply too much pressure. "All of that sounds nice." She smiled. "I was never afraid of thunderstorms either, but I didn't really feel safe during them since other people wouldn't be able to see well and they might run into me." She chuckled slightly. "But sleeping in the coil of your mothers tail sounds like you'd feel quite safe." She had decided not to mention her lack of parents, and how she'd never really felt safe sleeping anywhere.

Sasha went almost limp, enjoying the pressure on her back and shoulders. "I am glad that thunderstorms didn't bother you. Do you mind if I ask you some personal questions?"

"Go for it." Agathe said, grinning as she felt the relaxation from Sasha. She was very pleased that she could elicit such a response with such a simple action.

"Do you remember when you first started talking to animals? And what is it like? Were you born blind?" Sasha asked quietly, giving Agathe plenty of room to work.

Agathe's smile fell slowly, but she kept up the gentle massage. "I remember animals being confused about how I was speaking because it wasn't complete sentences, and I'm pretty sure it was animals that actually taught me how to speak... But yeah, I was born blind, so I don't know if it was an animal or a person. It was a very long time ago, and I try not to dwell on the past. Specifically my past." She chuckled slightly. "Every animal has their own voice, and each species sort of has their own way of speaking and their own social ways. For instance, ants and other bugs speak in very high pitched voices. Birds have serious honor codes and other things along those lines. I don't have much practice with snakes, but do you have any other questions?" She was very happy to keep up the massage for as long as Sasha would allow her. She wanted to repay the woman for being so kind to her, so this felt like just the first step of many.

Sasha took that in, chuckling as she remembered their feathered friends. "Birds are seriously amazing." She was silent a long moment before reaching up to put a hand over one of Agathe's. "...how did you come to be on this island? What happened to send our paths on a very welcomed collision course? I am not complaining. And if you do not wish to say, I won't press. But...something tells me it was not good. I want to understand and make sure from here on out, you get the best. That you feel treasured, heard, seen and loved. I feel that way with you here," she whispered, a lump forming in her throat. She had not stopped Agathe from giving the massage, merely held her hand atop the woman's. Tears pooled in her eyes as she imagined what it must have been like for Agathe, who could bot swim, to manage to get onto an island.

Agathe's hands merely paused in their movements as the question was asked, and quickly resumed their gentle motions. "It wasn't good. I had been deemed a witch in a town that was right on the sea. They dragged me through the crowd... By whatever they could reach..." In her mind the event was replaying itself. The emotions, the sounds, the pain. "They had almost beaten me into unconsciousness, but I suppose I was lucky that I was still awake when they threw me into the boat and shoved me out with the tide... After I could move I explored the raft and found no paddles, no water, no food... I was very fortunate to be able to squeeze myself under the front end of the boat where there was an overhang of wood. Otherwise I would be terribly sunburnt, and I would have died out there..." She took a slow breath as she remembered the moment that the rocking of the boat stopped as she hit the shore of Sasha's island. "I don't know how long I was out there, but feeling the solid ground beneath me was probably the most hopeful feeling I've ever had..." She chuckled slightly. "And even more luck to come upon your temple, and you. The most caring and kind person I've ever met." She hadn't realized she'd started crying, and only made that part known when she had to sniffle. However, she hadn't stopped massaging. She liked the repetitive motion of it.

Sasha listened, her own tears falling freely as she imagined the scene. She wanted to take the boat, storm back to that town and simply scream her frustration as she tore through the town, looking and acting a monster. To be the conciquence of hurting Agathe. Her eyes would be closed, of course, but sending them running for their lives sounded pretty appropriate. Sasha realized Agathe was crying and it only increased her frustration, sadness and tears. When the woman stopped talking, she turned, cupping Agathe's face between her hands. Her thumbs brushed away the tears. "Some higher power, not the gods or their titan parents, but some caring, loving power had to have brought you here. Maybe they knew we could help each other. Because you make me feel normal. Feel good and whole."

Agathe remained silent after she'd finished, not being able to trust her voice. When Sasha held her face, she was tense at first, completely unused to the near alien gentleness, and she hadn't realized that she had leaned into her touch feeling more relaxed. "I had hoped that someone had heard my cries for help... I just never expected them to lead me to you... But I'm very glad they did." She pushed through Sasha's hands and hugged the woman tightly. "You make me feel the same way... Like a river that's finally found the sea..." A final tear fell down her face, and a smile spread across her features, so pure and it held so much emotion behind it.

Sasha held onto her tightly in the hug. "That is a good description. I really like your smile. It is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with me," she whispered, smiling back as she watched that smile.

Agathe blushed and chuckled softly, obviously feeling shy about being complimented. "Thank you for letting me share it, and giving me reasons to smile." Her grey eyes, though they never truly could be used for what they were intended for, they could still hold someone's gaze if she managed to look in the right direction, which she had done, and was "looking" right into Sasha's.

Sasha smiled back, gazing into her eyes right back. She enjoyed the moment, committing it to memory. "You're welcome, Agathe. Now, I believe I get to return the favor of a back rub. Meanwhile, you may and are welcome to pet my scales if you'd like."

"I would really like that," Agathe broke her eye contact. "Where would you like me to move? I don't want to step on you..."

"I have my tail tucked behind me so if you want to sit down and I will move accordingly, we can try that. I am pretty sturdy so I think even if you did, nothing would happen," Sasha replied, keeping her tail out of the way.

"But I likely would have hurt you if I had, and I don't want to hurt you... I never want to hurt you..." Agathe said as she turned herself around and sat down so Sasha wouldn't have to move much. She reached a hand up and gently scratched an old looking scab on her scalp. Her hair was never longer than an inch in any one spot, so any bruises, marks, or cuts were plainly visible.

Sasha noticed, her heart clenching painfully in her chest. Never again, she vowed. Never. Then the gorgon did something she thought she would never do. She offered up a sort of prayer for the gods to hear. ..if one of you is listening...forget me and my life. It's whatever. But you all owe my great grandma and there is no one but me to collect on that...so you all will protect her! Whatever goes down, whatever pain and cruel plans you have set up, you leave this woman out of it! She goes unscathed! All your curses and your petty grudges get left behind for her. You stop it! reaching up, she wiped away her own tears before drying her hands on the hem of her shirt. She moved her long tail around Agathe, making a lose coil around her. When she opened her mouth, Sasha was glad to find she managed a mostly steady voice. "Safe and sound, now. Her hands lifted to Agathe's shoulders and she began to rub gently, mindful of any injuries.
