Qeya River under the dome

for @Thuringwethil and @Seff!

there was so much she wanted to ask seff, so much she wished to say. and terich! how happy he would be to know that his son had returned. but their journey back across the mountains was mostly silent, save for the nights, during which vuk whispered into seff's ears how much she had missed him, how lost she had felt within, how devoid her heart was in his absence.

in the light of early afternoon the pair paused in the shade cast by trees over a river. vuk kept watch, encouraging seff to drink, for she had scented the nearby wolfpack that bordered the larksong lands. she'd had enough of strangers for a long while.
