Blacktail Deer Plateau Amalfi

Osprey listened carefully to everything Peregrine told her and didn't say another word, until they arrived to the place, where Atticus was staying. At first it was hard to believe her brother's words, but after her attempts to communicate with their brother had failed, she withdrew from him and looked both confused and sad. It was something she saw for the first time in her life - terrible, but strangely fascinating too. Osprey had often wondered about the body, soul and the connection between the two and whether one could live without the other. And here was a proof...

She didn't share her musings with Perry, since it was neither the right time, nor place to do that. While regarding Atticus with a thoughtful gaze, her mind tried to figure out, how long would it take, before his situation would go for better or worse. Of course, they would take the best care of him now - days, weeks, even months, if necessary, but not forever. Life would go on and what was going to happen with him, if he didn't recover? Lost in her own thoughts, she sat down and remained silent.
