She’d wanted to see him kill, she says, and Gale continues to watch the sky. He says nothing, even when she comes to stand beside him and suggests Islandres. The image of its former home - warm and bright and familiar - brings a thrill of pleasure, and he leans his thick head against her shoulder with a low purr.

Yes, he says as he butts his head against hers and nods. There were several aquatic creatures living on the island, not to mention the women he had set as chiefs. They are blurred, a consequence of his host’s vengeful streak, but surely they must be capable to have been set to protecting the quiet territory.

“I know just the place,” he murmurs against her cheek, and in the next moment they are in Islandres, and the wintry mix that had been falling around them is replaced instead by muted sunlight that dapples her fur.
