Noctisardor Bypass i’ll pick a star from the sky, pull your name from a hat

it was strange to think that there was a whole side of family that dinah hadn't previously known about. mama never talked much about her parents or the people she grew up with, and rivenwood was still a mystery; a dog-eared book only now being dusted off.
and as time went on, dinah got used to it. she knew her way around for the most part now, the shortcuts through the thickets and between stretches of slate. but sometimes she still felt a bit like she couldn't breathe. it unsettles her, this place; the trees feel like they have eyes and the lake laps at her feet with a slimy tongue. it isn't home, but it has to be.
she'd gotten up to go for a walk, to get lost somewhere in the endless swath of noctisardor's evergreen. she can't remember the last time she'd really spoken to someone who wasn't ava. the sound of a voice from beyond the brush startles her enough to snap her from her focus, to slink forward and investigate.
and sure enough, it was druid; her aunt, or something like that. dinah feels her chest sink in relief as she catches sight of the silverwoven frame, and begins to trudge toward her. hey, she calls softly. druid, right?
