Ocean's Breath Plateau cousin-second

I am so sorry for the wait on this my Tullik muse decided to take a vacation :,(

She accepted this as well as she could, tongue against the back of her teeth. Her eyes bore a hole into the dirt, but she tore them away after an aching moment of silence. Tullik sighed out a short breath, that fluttered and choked after a moment.

She was not a woman easily pushed to tears, so she pushed the ones that wanted to rise away.

As long as you return, whole. I will not accept anything less. She told her husband, raising one trembling paw to rest against his leg.
