Ocean's Breath Plateau She dreams a champagne dream

Chakliux had been the one to find her that day, but @Tullik was the one who had brought Marina true comfort. Her attachment to the woman grew swiftly and fiercely. In her grief and exhaustion she did not question it nor fight it. When she was taken by sudden fits of panic, when she woke gasping in the night, when the faintest hint of stars speckling the evening sky brought tears to her eyes, Tullik was always there, always patient. It was through her support that Marina began to come back to herself slowly, in fragmented bits and pieces.

Do you enjoy living here? By the sea? The question slipped from her thoughtlessly one morning. Marina had been thinking about how Tullik had come from Moonspear, how she'd spoken of the mountains; wondering if she ever missed it there. Her eyes found the woman after a moment, filled with affection and curiosity. Was it weird to have a thing for your husband's wife? Was that what this was? Marina, who was still too worn by her ordeal to linger on it, immediately discarded the notion.
