The Sunspire Like Stars at Night - Never Lonely

sounds good! :)

Atka took in a deep breath and sighed, swallowing back the bitter feeling in her throat. She remained hushed, settling her eyes on Heph. Looking over the face she'd grown fond of, her own features showed a slight smile, but her eyes still revealed the melancholic feeling.

❝I wasn't really meaning anywhere in particular... Just with me.❞ Atka paused, searching Heph's face again as she tried to find the words.

❝But I may stay nearby The Heartwood.❞ She then looked to the ground and sat down as she continued. ❝The only thing that is making that decision hard is you.❞

❝Even if you continue on, I'll value every moment, Heph. I still feel it was right for me to meet you, and if you come to seek me out, I will be there.❞

Atka stole a glance at Heph, head still slightly angled downwards. Her ears that were angled away pulled back forward to Heph as she waited a response, one she hoped would be much farther in the future, but it wasn't going to be. This conversation was happening now, even though Atka hoped it would happen in later days.
