<3 simply could not write any longer with her. tysm to everyone who has been a part of her story; perhaps she will be back <3

@Zulema had not returned from the sands with her.

and tamar had come home to find arsenio gone.

for a night she sat vigil outside the den that had never quite been home, and then she sought out @Meadow and @Reyson. "i am leaving to find him." kissed. embraced. she could offer no more and would not stay longer.

her final act in gratitude for the hospitality of @Rusalka and @Solveig came in the form of beautiful foxpelts, a small stack of four. she could not bear their disappointment and so did not seek them out, feeling the sting of cowardice in that.

and for zulema, tamar left a small blue stone in the den shared by she and her husband. i have gone to the sea. your heart is not there. if it changes, there we will be, said the stone's silent azure presence. 

all had gone. 

in the slipping mist of an early dark, tamar galanis departed the teekon wilds, seeking the trail of her beloved arsenio.
