He kept all of his limbs planted firmly on the ground, refraining from approaching, letting her decide just how much distance was lost between them.

He searched deep within himself, yet there was nothing to find; his selfishness was the only thing there, much to his displeasure. “We’re the only ones here connecting each other to the north,” he answered, allowing his limbs a single step in her direction. “I’ve lived here for so long without any connection to my homeland before you arrived, I’m sure you do not want to experience the same loss.” He considered adding how no one else in these lands would understand her, his son aside, but decided against it; he wanted her to stay, not point out what she was unable to do.
