The Sentinels but i know you too well

first it was a stranger who appeared. he commented on the state of the forest, and dalia grew a bit wary. she was, for some reason, protective over it. maybe it was ford's fault for leaving such an impression upon her, but she felt that they had just as much claim to the charred forest as they did the ocean-- it was handed down a generation. it belonged to thee mayfair-cairns. it belonged to her, by default.

so when rannveig arrived, and commented about ford, dalia gave a gentle woof of polite amusement, and then returned, "it has charm." that's kind of you, dalia.
