Seaside Moors Seeing spiders, I'm told they never lie

Chacal was forgiven before her look even apologized.  Rosalyn was just glad when she looked at her, then gave her nod of acceptance.  It was clear things were far from resolved, but even that small gesture meant some resilience had been found.

Rosalyn would have liked to have spared Chacal the fate of her elder siblings, the fate of Rosalyn, a fate that Erzulie she was sure had met as well.  But it was starting to occur to the pirate that the myth of the unbroken family might be truly unattainable.  Every time they gained, they lost, and it felt there had never been at time they'd all been there happily together.

It was a somewhat dour thought, and Rosalyn internally kicked herself for falling into the same rabbit holes she'd just nudged Chacal from.  It served no one to dwell on the past; all they could do was move forward and search.  

wrap this and have another soon? :0
