Greatwater Lake When that’s all behind us

I'll say this happened right after this thread so that I don't have to say Damien left BFW again...

Although he'd found her, Xivilai had seemed to make her own choice about returning to Blackfeather Woods. It wasn't like Damien had had another option anyway, having been cornered by the thief and her beasts, but the girl had tried to return to her captor instead of Damien. It felt like a failure, coming back with empty hands, but Damien wouldn't always get what he wanted for as much as he hated it.

The Shadow prince had started back home right after losing the kid, seeing no point in lingering around to know where she'd be taken, but not long after setting his route away from the great lake the compelling voice of the dragoness diverted his destination. Damien wasn't expecting to know about her so soon after their last encounter, but the last thing he would do was refusing her call, more so after having touched her the way he did.

The impeccable dark of her fur stood out in the scenery, staring into the distance with those pearls she had for eyes. She had always been a piece of art, at least to Damien, and seeing her had made his pulse rise considerably. "Hey," he managed to vocalize as he approached her at a steady trot, halting just a tail-length away from her awkwardly. He waved his tail in greeting, letting it express how glad he was to see her again.
