Duck Lake I want to see you smile but know that means I'll have to leave

Maaaaybe we could fade & have a new one? If Bjarna could come to Swiftcurrent! No worries if not ofc

Yes. Reverie settled then, feeling guilty and relieved all at once. It felt wrong to have — an exit plan, more or less, but at the same time she could not help it. In some ways it felt as if things were already over between herself and Lestan, and she was just waiting for him to say the word. She could handle the end, truly, but the waiting felt like a slow kind of death.
I'm sorry, She whispered, because she knew that she was a terrible sister, if only for the fact that she had chosen Lestan in ways she could not choose Bjarna. How could she ever explain it to her? It was just too much like it had been with Rose, too much like memories that still hurt to recall. Even if she returned to Kvarsheim, Reverie knew it would only be the same as it had been before she left. She would be scarce. She would make her sister cry.
Maybe it would be better if she just left.
Reverie pushed the thought aside and only held Bjarna, falling into silence.
