Hushed Willows world enough, and time

✹☾❂

 

Eleuthera nodded enthusiastically at the firewoman’s instructions to bring the Queen into the know — and formally allowed Kincaid inside the willows as a guest. Eleuthera thought it all a bit superfluous, as she had never needed to do this before, but she delicately reminded herself, this was not Elysium and these were not normal peacetime circumstances. If Orlaith hadn’t been run so ragged, perhaps she would have had better sense and declined to harbor any guest until the threat had been neutralized. For that, the sprite considered herself lucky.

Eleuthera turned to Kincaid, realizing that the guardian was in and out so fast that she hadn’t introduced herself. “Orlaith for you," the shadowed shewolf offered comically, pointing her nose into the direction of the Fae’s trail. Well, at least the two lovers did not have to sit on her doorstep and longer; they could go inside, get cozy and revel in the fact that they would not have to leave each other’s arms again, if they didn’t want to — for a few days, at least.

Eleuthera was all smiles and a wagging tail as she made to show Kincaid inside. “Yes, let’s go!" she agreed quite happily, leading the man into her sacred lands.
