Finally, Reverie could no longer bear it.
The last days without @Lestan had been existence on a knife's edge; constantly balancing, constantly aware of the sting of it, the danger of making any wrong move. She thought of him more often than not. It was only to be expected that eventually it would become too much. Reluctantly she left @Blossom with Vairë, kissing her forehead and promising to return with the girl's father.
She followed his scent as far as she could. Which... was not very far at all before it began to take a toll. The first time she stopped for rest, Reverie found herself in an abrupt tailspin; fever lit within her veins like a wildfire, and when she made to restart her pursuit of her husband, she only managed an hour of travel before she faltered. In the end she settled by the river, watching it with fever-bright eyes and a far-away look. Her breath was fast and shallow as her heartbeat.
She did not look like she was dying. But she certainly felt it.
