the most recent quake is only a few moments passed, and for the second time that day, silence settles over Teekon. if she pauses, and listens closely, eirwyn can almost imagine a ringing to it; one that becomes deafening the longer she listens. but it is not truly silent. the shifting of the earth as warily it stills again, small cascades of rock and earth, and distantly, a dull booming crack.
she does not dwell on it. better to accept this new reality for what it is than waste time trying to understand it; though with each colossal heaving of the earth, she is careful to note the changes that follow. it would be all too easy, she muses, to become collateral damage in whatever war the earth wages against itself.
satisfied that the earth will remain still (for now), she resumes her winding trail downstream.
