Sunset Valley Mask Off

Riley knew what a big deal this was to Masque -- just upping and leaving everything behind. Even just for a hiatus. He wanted to be supportive, but he also wanted her to experience life as he'd experienced -- the good of it, anyway. There was so much more to the world than the Rise, and he wondered if her going on this adventure might point out what a fishbowl their lives had inadvertently become.

He glanced to the gull, which was now long gone. Masque steadied her breath besides him, but then she was off. He grinned shortly, picking up the pace.

He had no idea what she meant by not liking the smell of the sea - but he was ready to experience it for himself. As long as she was besides him, what did anything else matter?
