Other Shore froze there, rooted as if she had become one with the thicket around her. By the pearl-woman's voice, she did not find a threat within those gentle, feminine words - but the fall of Saatsine had taught her better.

N-no. I am... I'm not lost. 

She gulped, and forgot she was trying to match the stranger's confidence.

The woman's confident frame gave her both reassurance and fear alike, and those careful eyes made her reconsider if she was telling the truth herself. Was she lost? She turned back to the slip of haven called Sunset Valley, back to slopes tucked away, so far away from a world that could hurt her.

But she had made her choice to leave that generous corner, and here she would learn if she paid the price.

The lessons of Saatsine had their ways, it seemed.

Pearl-woman was looking over her. She dared to meet her eyes. Cold, dark, light pools, two seas with no horizons. She saw Morwenna in them, in a way that gave her a chilling comfort. I'm not lost, she dared again after too long in silence.
