Redtail Rise having dinner with the candelight

a wan smile arced across her dark face. aye. it was as much for yura's own protection (not that she could not protect herself! sobeille just believed in strength in numbers) as it was for sobeille's own growing possessiveness. each day she learned more of the hidden parts of her; parts of herself that had not been safe to grow in sapphique.

and maybe, if their timing was right, she might see ajei.

tomorrow, den. sobeille met yura's glittering gaze, hoping to rout out the anxiety that darkened them by instilling her own resolve; an unshakable confidence that they would find things exactly how yura had left them.
