Flycatcher Downs copperhead road

No answer came. Shit, Cambria thought. Etienne must be out of earshot, somewhere near the coast. He didn’t fault his friend, of course, he was just disappointed. He had wanted to see him sooner rather than later.

He swung his head toward Odessia with a small smile, explaining, He said he had some business near the coast. He’ll come find us when he can. I figured that even if you didn’t want him living with us full-time, he could still visit. Although I’m glad you do want him with us.

He really couldn’t overstate it. The Dragonling’s tail swung of its own accord. He kept listening for an answering call, though it stayed quiet. It seemed they wouldn’t see the other man today, perhaps not even for a while. But one day, they would be reuinited and become a triad. The thought made his heart pound.

We should rest, Cambria said, even though he was too excited to sleep. He pointedly curled up with his body pressed against hers. What about… Chimeria? Someone called me that once, said they knew I was one because of my eyes.

Wanna fade this one? :)
