Seaside Moors a roiled soul is calmed anew

<3 nw!!

It was such a small gesture, offering the crab -- but at the sight of it Raleska's stomach flipped, and grief's unpalatable bile stung her lips and tongue. She clasped the crustacean between her paws and studied it with a frown, willing the nausea away.

She felt sorry for Erzulie, in that same vein - to have your children leave, sometimes without a word. And here she was, practically throwing hers away -- was she that selfish?

She knew the answer, and so looked away. "I'm sorry. I hope wherever they are they are safe." It was such a hollow platitude, really -- but the only one she had known well was Nieve, and she certainly missed the girl, but if it was in her heart to wander, Raleska could not blame her for obeying the whims of her feet. "Good that we came to the Moors? It does seem safer." On this subject Raleska did not bother to hide her feelings - no matter where she was, it was beginning to feel less and less like home.. The Moors was just another pit-stop on the road to hell, in Raleska's sorrowed eyes.
