Greatwater Lake hush

Just a lil cameo post

It is through bleary, sleep crusted eyes that the ogre girl sees. Half-lidded, the world moves on at a dream's pace. Shadows move above and there are voices outside the den. The sound both underwater and faraway to the half-asleep child.

There is a prod as her side. She is jostled and lifted. Zharille is there, but her mountainous form grows distant. The absence of her mother's flank leaving the girl cold. Mesen-ka is there. He looms. His scent is strong, but there is another. Through darkness the girl tries and fails to locate the fellahin. Her head twisting slowly and her limbs lacking the strength to lift her upright.

Taliba is soon swaddled next to Ibrahim. Of course it is him. Protest rises from the peltskins. Disgruntled grumbles and whines as the girl fussed. Her movements limited by the wrap as well as her brother's body. The struggle is soon proven to not be worth it. The girl is so tired. Her eyes shuttered close.

This night will be a dream until she awakes in a new place.
