Pping Blossom with this post since she’d be nearby anyway!

Her eyes swam with tears, but she swallowed them down. Her answer was a wordless nod, not trusting her voice in that moment. Then, she led the way across the sand, trying to take comfort in the salt dancing across her nose.

It didn’t work. She just felt the unease of the past several days settle across her shoulders like a great weight, adding more to her burden. Vairë closed her eyes for a mere moment, allowing that single indulgence, before beginning to stride with purpose once more. She was not fawn, but doe.

It was time to act like it.

The child was waiting for them when she arrived, laying in the sand and sun with her wispy gold coat shining almost the color of the sand around her. Sluggishly the girl raised her head to watch them come close and Vairë plastered on her best smile.

Hello, Blossom. That was the girl’s name, wasn’t it? The child blinked sleepily.

This is my mother. May we go see yours with you? She perked up, toddling to her feet and tumbling into the den. Vairë chewed on her lip, then ducked into the doorframe.

@Reverie ? She called, trying to find the golden hued woman in the darkness.

May we come in? Spirits, she hoped the woman was even awake.
