Noctisardor Bypass there’s comfort in my dark seat and chaos in the aisles

The tiny girl didn’t put up a fight. She latched and suckled herself to sleep as Druid watched. She was almost sad when those little eyelids fluttered shut. She’d heard sayings about eyes being windows to the soul, though she’d never given it much thought. But being able to look into her child’s eyes had shifted something inside her.

The others were fast asleep too, so Druid sagged again, letting out a long breath. Today had been an awful day. She was still in a good deal of pain. She figured she would likely have nightmares, if she could get to sleep at all. But when the Den Mother finally closed her eyes, she pictured Kikimora’s looking back at her, and this image eased her into a surprisingly restful slumber.
