Galena's body lay perfect still as she mediated on the beach, a soft breeze pulling at the stormcloud's hair. She took long, steady breaths as she practiced her Pranayama. She sourced guidance from her coven of Sisters and Mothers far to the North, who had tasked their pupil with her current voyage. Through her practice she deepened their connection, though the distance grew between them grew every day.

A new energy flowed through her... and so transfixed was she, that Galena scarcely took notice of her approaching company until he drew near enough for his pawsteps to be heard above the lapping of lakewater.

Her moon-colored eyes opened at once, rudely diverted from their focus, and spied the boy. Galena was not so fond of men and would have probably been more sour to her company had he been older... but this one was on the bridge between child and adult, and so she found his prying presence intriguing. "Hello little rabbit," she said to him in a low voice (for his coat pattern reminded her of a bunny) as she began to dismantle her altar.
