Hushed Willows oh you should've been a mother, you should've been a wife

yes! i'll fix the date :3

it is not seabreeze he finds but her lovely wife, slim and berry-stained; as ever, mato's face fleetingly crosses his mind, though it fades quickly. she is like him but she is her own person, as well, and delight finds he wants to get to know that person. the woman who seems to have brought joy back into seabreeze's eyes after her undue suffering (an act he is grateful for, even if he does not have the words to express it, and would feel rather silly trying.)

seabreeze's injury and slow recovery has brought them into closer proximity, if nothing else, as he resumes his place in leadership, desperate to make up some of what his closest friend has done for him. delight hopes that maybe he and olive can obtain a little emotional proximity as well. (he has to admit: he's lonely.)

"hi," delight says, rather sheepish for not having a better opener. "how is -- she doing today?"
