Greatwater Lake hitori de aruku

masa tag for ref! PPing @Clover with permission!

when she leaves behind the heartwood for a time, she is not alone.

kaede makes no secret that she means to go out for a time. if samurai trail, then so be it.

her bow is for @Masa. 

beside her again, the fox, and as they travel, she does not speak. it is good to be out in golden plains beneath blue sky.

warm today, tending toward heat. water stills with it the form of a dark woman, descending lower and lower into the waters.

her brow furrows.

kaede clears her throat, a quiet look on her unmoving face.
