Silver Creek the endless pull

She was still guarded, only offering her story in bits and pieces because it was hers and it involved her unborn children and she was still uncertain about the darker woman. She didn't have to reveal her whole soul, not as she had to for Spring and Laika, not as she had chosen to do for Casmir. She was polite enough in giving some brief explanations - the Depths that neighbored them, how it had changed things - and what she had done. She did not speak of her spirits or her magick, that was too close to her heart and the very things that made it beat. 

Eventually Rowan did retreat, tired and needing rest - the children were beginning to drain her more and more.
