ty for the thread!! <333 i LOVED it even if it ended up being sad lolol i cannot wait to see more of eset!!

Eset does not say anything. Merely stares, wide-eyed, and leaves. Not a trace of her left in Zaahira's room save for the bittersweet smell of her pelt and what remained of the wine.
As soon as she believes the girl is no longer within earshot, her shoulders slump forward as unrepentant sobs rock her slim frame. Crawling to the furs that make her bed, she pulls the bowl of wine to her chest and swallows the remainder in one big gulp, maroon dribbling down her chin and mingling with the glass-eyed tears.
She had learned that if she drinks enough, the dreams of Selena become vivid, lively enough for her to feel her touch. But tonight, there are no dreams at all; she is alone even there.
