Overture Downs so stay with me because,

morwenna dipped her head, her expression softened with gratitude. thank you, winter’s wake, she murmured, her voice low, carrying the weight of her sincerity. for your words, and for... understanding.

her gaze lingered on him for a moment longer, taking in his steady form and the ease with which he carried himself. there was something grounding about him, something she hadn’t realized she needed until now. she offered a small, fleeting smile, one that didn’t quite reach her eyes but carried warmth nonetheless.

i hope our paths cross again, she said softly, her tone wistful yet certain. until then, i’ll carry your words with me.

with that, she stepped back, her movements deliberate as she turned to leave. the forest seemed quieter now, the weight of their conversation hanging in the air. she moved with purpose, her mind turning to the saatsine, to sun eater, and to the choices that lay ahead.

morwenna didn’t look back as she disappeared into the trees, but her thoughts remained with the winterwolf, his laughter and wisdom echoing in her mind. perhaps they would meet again. perhaps this was only the beginning.

thanks for the thread!
