Qeya River Shadowblight

As Narcissus’ despair at not being openly admired began to dissipate, Wake started to take a more scrutinizing look at his company: searching for fault among the narrow shadows of her appearance that would render her opinion of him (or lack thereof) moot in his egoist thoughts.

She was woods-at-night dark and scrawny—sharp with bones that hardly had any meat to them. The star upon her forehead was most interesting, however, and he wondered if she was related to @Morwenna.

I have spoken with several of them, he answered, his mind’s eye softening as it passed over the memory of Suliya. I have also met others not of Saatsine. Do you know a Morwenna, or an @Esma? He wondered if the second name would mean anything at all to the blackbird, seeing as they had both asked after a wolf named Ash Star.

tags for ref - and also sorry for the belated mention of esma, since that thread is still ongoing
