Dragoncrest Cliffs oh, for the night to come again

Mallaidh struggles to find sleep this night too. She hasn’t seen @Artaax since she brought him back to Drageda. She hasn’t gone out of her way to look for him but neither has he and she doesn’t know if it’s a bad thing. Is he avoiding her? Is she? And now, he was going to be going with them when Blixen breaks off. She had a brief hope that she’d be able to put distance between herself and the brute. The first time has been easy enough not to bring up, mostly wanting to forget it, but this time… doesn’t have the same shame built in.

Idly, she meanders through the openness by the lake until something flies over head. Quickly, she snaps to attention to see a second meteor flying through the sky. Her eyes widen, stunned in space and forgetting all her problems all of a sudden. Her throat lodges in her throat, shifting her feet a bit.

“I told you,” she tells @Blixen (who isn’t even there), moving quickly when another one launches across the clear sky. If she can find where it lands, she can prove to her that they do fall out of the sky and it won’t be so silly. Maybe @Ali sees it, too.

Mallaidh comes to a stop when she reaches a high cliff and another, looming body in the distance. At first, she thinks it is Heda, and she freezes, her nose proves it’s someone else and makes it easier to approach. She does not see the anger in Tux’s features, cloaked by darkness, but another meteor flies through the sky and she’s suddenly distracted as she tries to figure out where it’s going.
