no rush darling <3 but would love a thread w/ these twoooo

Lily was lost in memories today. Their time at Broken Boulder—and even before. It had been a while since she'd thought of Alarian, and she did so now with some reluctance. . .yet she understood that in order to fully heal, one must look back. One must not be afraid to look back.

Alarian. Lennon. Korei. Lainie. Xahi. Oh, Lanawyn. The group with which she had made the initial journey, with whom she had founded Bracken Sanctuary, were all scattered to the winds, gone or dead. And Vilkas, and Queenie, and Zamael, and Steele. All gone. Gone.

Why had they chosen to leave, and she still remained? Did she not have as wild and carefree a heart as they (moreso, in some cases)?

Unsettled, Lily sought out @Ariel, a roaming shadow in the evening twilight, muted further by the willows' gentle curtains. It was the most peaceful place on the earth, and yet she felt more restless than ever, pondering questions and seeking the answers she'd never receive.

But perhaps Ariel could soothe her, if only a little. He'd known these wolves, too—most of them, anyway. And unlike them—much like Lily—he'd stayed. Why?
