@Andr if/when you've got time. <3 I was trying to let the thread with the meteor strike get wrapped up first but I felt it might be time to address it.
she felt the burned skin along her ribs pull, as if the healing wounds might split back open with enough pressure.
lips twitching back, she twisted to eye the angry flesh -- tempted for reasons she could not explain.
the spectre gave a shake of her head, as if ridding herself of some pest, before swivelling back to the pool of water.

"i listen, sister. I just do not see the trouble. a few wolves on the shore, one who might've been lóminórë. one who might've easily not been."
