Iktome Plains saltmouth

hope this is ok<3

The trip to the hinterlands summited in the crossing of the plains where he and Iseul had first laid eyes on the ocean. Where a chapter had ended on a cliff-hanger had now come to a close and he had felt free to move on; a final goodbye.

The boy let himself embrace the surreal closure it had brough, relishing the peace it brought to his mind. Somehow, somewhere along the way, he had begun to enjoy the feeling of being alone. 

It is as he rounds the cliffs to Moontide that he spots the crying woman; her grief invisible until honeyed eyes catch the tear tracks that wet her cheeks.

Softly, quietly, he does not speak as he settles on the rocks nearby. What did she cry for?
