Qeya River cause I wish you were here

Star Eater remained thoughtful, distant though not dismissive. There were parallels here, between the taiga woman and her lost cousin that dredged up possibilities Yuralria did not want to imagine. 

Pity clouded curiosity of Star Eater's past as a realisation grew within her. Here, in Saatsine, in the comfort of their ulaqs - it was a cruel reminder of what she had left behind. Of what she must return to.

Coincidence. Maybe it was just that. A fleeting beat of a bird's wing blown off-course by the wind. "Perhaps I was meant to find you," she started, rising to her paws, "but I can't stay. I'm sorry, Star Eater, but I need to go home."
