Silverlight Terrace it's unbelievable

she'd never forgotten heph's embrace, the shape of it. atka breathed in her scent, reminded of the time they'd traveled together. it seemed so long ago now. her tail waved behind her, and she was overjoyed to see her friend again. she showered her friend with affection before pulling away. her ears turned away, lowering as heph brought the question forward.

❝oh heph,❞ a pensive smiled was faced towards the familiar brown eyes. ❝it was... a hard season.❞

atka's brows furrowed as she tried to hold her gentle expression.

❝i lost them-❞ the steady wag of her tail came to a stop. ❝and dreven and i were separated for a time.❞

she didn't even know where to start, last heph had seen her she'd had life in her womb.

❝when he found me it was- well... we're together now.❞ her eyes were nothing short of drowning. 

heph marked the start of her life in atka's mind. the gentle soul that walked with her when she'd freshly escaped her family's harm. she was what the young woman needed for the time, and here she was again. the time they spent together was short, but atka's love held no deadline.
