Two Rivers Isle dasik

the hug catches her off guard. oftentimes it was discouraged to hug strangers– but Ady wasn't a stranger now, was she? she was a friend, and that meant that her hugs were going to be well met! so, iseul is happy to let the tiny woman wrap herself around her larger figure, tail wagging excitedly behind her for developing such a quick relationship so soon.

it seems like even in the dead of winter, the isle still had a magical way to let some things bloom and grow. "i am happy too," she would come to tell her, "so happy."

she had to only hope that Ulrich knew the shadow's name. but if he didn't perhaps Iseul would come up with a new name for him, or just continue to use her body to speak rather than her tongue. but even then, would that become straining for her at some point?

and now that she thinks about it, she wonders about a gift for him. to show her feelings to him, of course. it was customary to do such a thing, but what would he like? maybe Ady would have some ideas as she already had a husband?

"I want to, ah, give thing to him." she wasn't quite sure what this thing would be, but she knew the sentiment was still there. what would makan like to receive as a gift from her? "what things Ulrich like?" was Ulrich a man of the hunt who liked freshly caught meals? or perhaps something more special, like a song or a dance? even while she was talented in poetry, it didn't matter because Makan would never know what she even said!
