Noctisardor Bypass shibui

Druid still avoided her family. She wished to depart for Sapphique to check in with Erzulie, though she didn’t feel well enough to travel. She still couldn’t speak and she was becoming concerned that the bite on her heel might be infected. She might not have any choice but to seek out Mahler eventually.

She hobbled slowly through Silencepine, thinking of Heda and worrying about Mireille. Suddenly, she wanted to see Witch more than anything. Druid stopped and clenched her jaw, trying to remain strong. Her sister had such a bright, optimistic worldview. She could not tarnish it by telling her the truth: that sometimes, nightmares manifested in the waking world.

Hoping for @Hope! :)
