Ouroboros Spine Uumman

An airy laugh fell from her lips.

Good… I missed you, too.

Samani had thought about Rodyn every day since he had left. She had imagined – several times – the day that he might return, how she would react, what they would say to each other. Seeing him in something that wasn’t her mindless daydream was surreal. It did not matter how the man had changed; she felt her heart thud wildly in her chest when she gazed at him. The sound of his voice on her ears was better than the music that had played in his absence. She had listened as the winds blew through the bone chime and she had thought of him.

Rodyn spoke of many things. He had traveled across a variety of terrain. He said that the sounds were different in each place he visited. Her peachy tail waved. He had gone to see the ocean and he had brought stones for her – the color of her eyes. Samani’s tail waved harder, swaying her hips from the force.

There were wolves in a vale and in the mountain – warm and stern. Oh, she wanted to hear all about it. She wished that she had been with him on his journey, that she could have seen these places at his side.

I’ll hear it all. Tell me of the stern leader. What were their names? What was that home like?
