Jade Fern Grove only a year ago, i loved you

For all that he admired her, Sriracha had spent woefully little time with Ocra. First she had been healing, and then he had been away, and even when they were both well and in proximity, they had not spent time together. Sriracha had been busy, yes, but he never wanted to be so busy that he could not spend time with a dear friend. A dear, beautiful friend.

Yet he had something on his mind, a question that had been burning at him, though admittedly less than his desire (platonically or not) to spend time with her. But it was that question that drove him to seek her out, checking her usual haunts and everywhere in between.
