Blacktail Deer Plateau Colorado calls to me

The question naturally followed.  Smokestep left to find his sister, who had disappeared.  He took a good portion of the crew with him.  We made do for a while, but when a bear came to claim the beach, we couldn't hold it.  It had been long enough that she wasn't as upset with the retelling, but she still felt nothing but contempt when she said his name.

That's what led your maman and I to Rusalka.  After that, Nieve knew the rest.  Well, most of the next.  There were parts they hadn't really spoken of yet, but would soon enough.

I'd have liked you to have seen it.  But I am glad you had Rusalka.  It was different but it was home; At least for Nieve, for a while, it seemed.
