Ocean's Breath Plateau sand doe

arrival back home! single posts welcome <3

their trip home was contemplative, chakliux and @Marina. everything her brother had said, the plants he had listed, the stony powders and mountainous ferns — all conspiring to create sickness in her body.
when they came to the place of the lodges, chakliux did not yet go up the path. he stood there and gazed at the lived-in lodges, at the worn path, at the gentle grasses, the wavering flowers.
he adored moontide, and yet the plateau seemed to be rejecting his wife.
a long sigh rushed out of chakliux, then he smiled and called out, called for @Tullik, @Sirmiq and @Chagak and @Kilalurak and @Puffin, for @Taggak and @Raiyuk, and a second to tell @Heph and @Rodyn he had come back.
he wrestled the children as they came, hooting at their elation as he and marina went up the path to the lodge.
