Qeya River longing sun

let @Veksar post first! whenever you have time, ebony <3

the river ran cold, its waters swollen with the melt of distant peaks. star eater walked the banks, her pace slow but certain, the dark shape of veksar lingering at her side. the saatsine watched from a distance, their eyes sharp, their judgment reserved.
she did not fear their stares, nor did she offer explanation before it was due. instead, she lifted her head to the darkening sky and called for her husband.
@Sun Eater. come.
her voice carried, threaded with command, with expectation. the saatsine would hear it, too, but it was meant for him.
when he came, a great shape moving through the twilight, she turned to face him. her expression unreadable, her stance unwavering.
this man lingers, she said, her gaze flicking briefly to veksar before returning to her husband. he claims he is a good hunter.
blackfell had not been far behind, either, so it was clear that she was not alone traversing to invite trouble.
