Moonlight on water

"Like we are..." Osprey finished his epiphany, feeling a little impressed by such depth of thought. Burke seemed a bit simple-minded, but even rough and plain rocks on the outside could have a shiny gem inside. She cast a glance around - the moose was long gone. There was a slight chance that she would catch up with it again, but it was an idea worth discussing. Ever since her return from her lengthy wanderings (both in terms of time and distance), she had not felt the need to go too far away from the plateau.

"Very well..." she said, getting up to her feet (she had sat down, while crying - it was a lot easier to look miserable, if you were sitting) and stretching thoroughly. "It was nice to have a chat with you, remembering good old times and whatever and I hope that we never see each other again," she said with a smirk. Even though it had been quite refreshing to be nasty and sarcastic for a change. Better even because the other party didn't mind.

"Farewell, Prince Charming!" Osprey said and without waiting to hear, what Burke had to say, she left.

ooc: a great thread - thank you for that! Burke is a great character and - despite, what Osprey just said - I hope that they happen to run in each other again someday.
