Bramblepoint whining like a little pup

hiemis said her name in a manner that convinced galana it was the truth. she was quick to continue seeking the cause of the scars, and the ruddy girl swallowed her bite down roughly. galana sighed, hoping to release the heaviness on her chest with it.

"galana." she responded, thinking the snowy woman's name a pretty thing.

"a bad man." she looked away for a moment, thinking. "took me from home pretty young. i wanted to go home. i asked pretty often though, but i earned these when i kept pushing past his usual warnings."

she decided there was no harm in the truth. perhaps hiemis had been wronged in similar ways?

"i'm away from that now." galana took another small bite, her hunger diminished thinking of mida and gray. "should you ever need shelter from such things, or a meal, moonglow would have you."

she expected hiemis to deny the invitation, but didn't see a problem in offering such. it was a place of healing.
