Shadow Mountain tell me what color the sun really is

Even after life had settled back to normal, he'd not planned to leave. It was nice to know, but she wasn't yet sure how she felt about it. She could not use him and then turn him away once his services were no longer required, if ever they were no longer required. For as long as he wished to stay, she would permit it. Though come the future, she couldn't help but wonder if eventually his loyalties might shift from the girl as an individual to the tribe as a whole. Normally it pleased her to see such a change, to witness the forming of bonds between those in her tribe, but to imagine the same happening with him had her stomach twisting. She did not want to lose him as her personal follower, she wanted for him to stay as only hers. "Once you have settled into my tribe, will your views change?" she'd asked, falling silent shortly after to consider a better way of getting across what she meant. "Do you plan to offer your loyalty to the others, or will you continue to live as mine alone?" Maybe it wasn't important, but in that moment, she'd believed that it was. With Noctura gone, someone else was needed to fill the space he'd left behind, even if the girl might never find emotions to harbour for Ukko.

When the space had been further darkened, Asterr had sat up. She'd taken a few moments for herself in order to let her eyes adjust, though never could she get her sight to be perfect within the dark space. As the rain had started to fall, she'd listened to it all, hearing the change in the amount. The storm had arrived, and so that meant that it could eventually come to an end. Sooner would the moment arrive, perhaps, in which they could leave the space and continue their journey. She'd awaited the end, but her need for it to arrive had eventually been relocated to the back of her mind. "Are you doing well here?" the girl questioned, steadying her gaze upon his form. "I am sure that this is not ideal for you. If you would like for me to wait elsewhere, I would not blame you." Though it was not the wisest of decisions, the chieftess would leave if it was deemed necessary. Surely she could locate another place to settle into until they could continue onward.
