They walked for ages. Parvati stumbled at irregular intervals, tripping on her own feet or misjudging the distance of her strides. It is a wonder she remembers how to walk. A lack of muscle mass proves to be detrimental as she pursues the pale figment before her - she is pitifully slow, and they do not arrive to their destination for some time.
When they finally stop Parvati practically collapses to the dirt. She can feel the sunlight on her back like a heavy cape. The fresh air has a brightening effect on her demeanor after a few minutes. She is panting openly, but her eyes alight upon the altar and the heaving of her breast slows to a more normal pace.
The rabbit intrigues her. Parvati is hungry - she can't remember the last time she ate, unable to solidify her mind long enough to recollect the past few months - but she doesn't move to take the rabbit even when she has been prompted. Her gaze lingers for a bit on the creature splayed out upon the stone and gradually drifts to Maegi's face, and for a flickering moment she seems coherent, as if she recognizes her friend.
Maegi is saying something about gods - but she cannot remember any gods, and continues to stare.
