Haunted Wood Give me all your pain

❝My preference is simply being beside you.❞ Atka smiled, though his words were serious. ❝I have no quarrels with making The Heartwood my home.❞

She sat down, her gaze still searching his face for a hint of what he felt.

❝Or anywhere else for that matter, but if we were to settle somewhere like here-❞ Atka paused looked around the beautiful scenery. ❝I would be very happy, and if Aludin returned demanding our presence we could go back. You do not owe it to him to build up what he abandoned. Yet Khasni insists that forest is of worth, and I suppose I could grow to see it that way as well if you wanted to stay.❞
