Bramblepoint [M] Everyone swimming in a champagne sea

Convenience wasn't something Ibis considered on a regular basis; she took much of her life for granted and it took the man's comment to make her pause and think about that, reflect on it. Ibis had not stayed long upon the fen before seeking to lend aid upon the mountain, so she didn't have an opinion of her own home yet — maybe that was purposeful. She can't lose what she won't attach herself to, or something like that.

The man got closer and Ibis found herself wondering about him more and more. Anything to keep her mind off of the negative feelings she had stumbled upon; thinking about the move to the fen and the subsequent loss of her husband and daughter, well... She decided a distraction was needed, and this man would suit her fine.


You could come to the fen, if you wanted. She offered.

He reminded her of Teya, actually. The composition of his coat was a touch darker but he held the same sharp, thin composition of the Raven. The woman looked upon him appraisingly. You said before that it was your home... I feel terrible, knowing that we displaced you. We have the space.

But she remembered his reaction the first time she'd asked, weeks ago. He hadn't been keen to curtail living on his own. That was his choice and she wouldn't push the option too hard. She smiled, laughing softly to herself, and muttered, Mm, feeling a little deja-vu. Sort-of dizzy. I should sit... she swayed a little, and realized as she sank to her haunches how light-headed she felt. Ibis wasn't sure why but it probably had to do with all the stress she'd put herself under lately.
