silatuyok gives a small nod, her expression softening as she acknowledges skorpa's offer. thank you, she murmurs, her voice barely more than a breath, respectful but distant. she watches him turn to leave, her eyes following his movements for a moment before she looks down at the ground, lost in thought. the air around her is still, and the quiet of the mountain feels heavier now. yet, her mind is already shifting, turning inward, preparing for the quiet work ahead. as he begins to retreat, she doesn't call after him, understanding the distance between them without needing to speak more.
