Northstar Vale Forever Waiting for a Sign

this has been a wonderful thread, this will probably be my last post. feel free to respond or simply archive!

A soft chuckle left her dark lips, Gracious liked Aiolos. He was an interesting figure to speak with, she hoped more conversations about his culture could occur in the near future. While she wasn't as young as the others that called the Court their home (she was approaching her sixth year this spring), she felt at home with them all. It made her feel welcomed, important at least. She hoped Aiolos could only think and feel the same way she did.

When he asked to stay with her, the monochromatic woman smiled warmly at him. "By all means, you're always welcome to join me." While she enjoyed the quiet moments by herself, she couldn't deny that the moments she shared with others were also just as sweet and peaceful. He moved closer to her while Gracious scooted over a little to close the gap. It felt nice to have someone pressed up next to you, especially in this weather. Whenever they decided to part ways, she'd go let herself dry off in her den. But, until that moment came, she generously took and shared the heat.

This was something she was looking for, a sign of a good future. Perhaps, her curse had already been lifted.
