Swiftcurrent Creek Now you know I'm paper-thin

He didn't know. Reverie suddenly wondered if anyone truly knew Lestan and his thoughts, his wants. She certainly did not. If she had, then she would have been able to make him happy, and he would never have left her. But it often seemed as if Lestan himself did not even know what he truly wanted. He'd said he wanted her, after all — but that wasn't quite true in the end, was it?
Reverie realized belatedly that these thoughts of Lestan were the only thing that made her really feel anything. And that made her want to leave those thoughts behind as soon as possible. The numb feeling was preferable, she thought. So she focused on Arric. He would be here. He would help. Just as Moss had said she would.
Thank you, She said softly, and made herself smile. We don't need a lot - Moss has been here for me, since Lestan left. But if you could... try to visit often, I would appreciate it. I haven't been confined to a den since I was a child myself! Not as long ago as it perhaps should have been, for the fact that she was now a mother. I'm too tired to feel restless yet, but I'm sure I will soon.
And I'd like Blossom to know you, too, Reverie added, and at this her smile turned warmer and more genuine. I think she could learn a lot from you. Things she can't learn from me. Like... emotional control. She was joking, but only a little. It wasn't exactly a secret that Reverie was more controlled by her emotions than the other way round.
