Phoenix Maplewood down for me

while not having much time to watch her every move, adi had kept some tabs on desdemona while the girl settled in. she seemed to have made some friends in sunny and alya, which was good, and she was keeping herself busy. he hoped not too busy, though. he didn't want the newcomer burning herself out less than a moon in the pack.

"hey, there," he called out casually, catching up to her while on his own trip around the borders. he fell in step at her side, flashing her a grin. "how are you, desdemona? is everything all right for you here, so far?" after the extreme deference she had shown during their first meeting, he didn't expect much of a candid answer. . .but perhaps she had warmed up a little, since then.
