Kildeer Rest I just wanna dive in with you.

Liri returns to him, reminded again of his presence. At times, she seems to disappear, lost to herself, though Kavik is one of the few with the ability to bring her back. Liri plants kisses along his ears, soft as summer rain, to reassure him. If wanderlust should strike her, Kavik  would be the first to know. 

"I am...even before you," she says it with a tad of vulnerability, the closest she's come to admitting that she's growing very attached to Kavik. "But.." Liri trails off with a shake of her head. 

The highest ranking members of the Sanctuary are scarcely seen - Alarian, Delight, Eris - and the blackbird's scent has faded. It's a small forest; it takes only a short time for Liri to notice Lily's abscence. There is a sinking feeling in her gut that her might-have-been friend will not return.

Queenie's lack of appearance is understandable as is Delight's - they've just had children - not that Liri could say that they had stellar leadership skills to begin with, though this is perhaps her biased opinion of Queenie leaking into her thoughts. 

Whatever's going on between Alarian, Eris, and Lily - whatever's entangled them together - Liri doesn't pretend to understand. Something is amiss between them and the forest feels heavy with drama and melancholy heaped on all sides. 

"Things feel...odd. The Sanctuary feels tense and sad. Don't you feel it?" Liri turns to him, every amount of foreboding and anxiety that she's felt weighing heavy in her gaze.
