The Tangle when you grow older and all those boys grow tired of you

Unlike the fallen trees in Drageda, Mallaidh does not mind sharing the secrets of this place. She hadn’t really been thinking before and she finds a weird sort of eagerness to include her friend. Besides, there’s plenty of places for her to spend by herself here should Blixen take it upon herself to spend more time here.

”Yeah,” she says and looks back, watching her investigate. ”I don’t really remember a lot about where I’m from but... I feel like maybe it was kind of like this,” she tells her. Mallaidh never really put much thought to it before but she remembers a little, certain scenes plucky from memory that incites a little deja vu here and there.
