Sunbeam Lair iii: relentless

her meeting with vaati had been [??] and the svartel had not since returned to the mountain. icy slogged thickly through her veins, and she wondered what it would be like to tear into his lifeblood as she had dakarai's. would his life atone for that which she could have had? she would have been her mother's daughter, surely, and not some failed experiment of the woods. 

paws lead her steadily down the rock. the cave she finds after almost bypassing a smaller section of the entrance; once discovered it seems obvious. she does not think before padding inside, unknowingly on the heels of another woman. this is discovered quickly, however, and she stills before her voices grates coarsely against her throat in a chuff. perhaps she seeks solitude here, and the star-kissed is in no mood to contest it if she wishes.
