Evening (Sunset)
Windy

Maybe @Teya?

Frostbitten winds picked up within the fen's camp, pulling the dame's silky locks and sending cold chills as it slipped beneath her pale skin. Her lavender depths squinted against the force and watched as the willow's branches seemed to come alive. Fragile, wispy things that reminded her too much of the fuji with decorate her home clan -- memories there were sparse without the presence of her grandfather, but nostalgia of simpler times still lingered from time to time.

A dark muzzle and equally dark limbs pushed forward with purpose. The young crane sought to search for an old face by the promise of Bridget, but the knot which formed in her stomach at the thought of going through with it never ceased.

How exactly would Izumi go about this?

teya knew that devastating beauty.
she had once been jealous of it, even made shy by it.
izumi walked through the windswept fen, more ethereal even than she had been before, among the willow-trees.
mesmerized, teya found herself only watching, only watching until izumi had come to a place where she might see the raven. then, and only then, did the young leader issue a chuff and a tentative step forward, familiarity and welcome shining together on her face.
"it good to see you again."

"Teya..."

There she was. The small, dandelion fae with owlish clearwater hues. Her golden locs almost matched the larger faerie who often gazed at Izumi with warmth -- and they were here. Bridget and Teya; they were here with her.

She slunk closer towards the young maiden, closer -- but froze just in front of her. Izu wished to greet Teya with the same affections she had shown Bridget not too long ago, but didn't know if such a thing was okay. Her and Teya had not clicked in the past as she did with Bridget, and the crane couldn't help but feel distant despite their proximity sometimes -- like the sunflower had been uncomfortable in Izumi’s presence.

The thought of such a thing hurt, ecspecially since the princess wanted to be close -- but she knew she couldn't rush a relationship similar to the one Teya and Bridget shared. As much as she hungered for it.

Apologetically, Izumi drew away some to bow her head, averting her gaze and licking her lips.

"I....I heard you lead the fen as well...with Eljay and Maia." she began softly "I encountered them not too long ago, and it is here where they allowed me a home..."

izumi.
the faery-wing voice, soft as ever, as if the time between their meeting had never compromised the mourning-dove.
fineglass eyes, and the curve of her jaw —
teya had never allowed herself to look at izumi in this way —
the sting of kynareth and bridget and ibis, always; eternal;
and reyes' disinterest —!
was she so weak?
"eljay and maia good wolves. i proud to be raven with them." lighter voice; she cleared her throat, moving to flank izumi's soft side.
"i show you around fen, if you like?" and a polite, inviting smile upon her lips as she paused for the sylph's answer.
