oceane
with tremulous cadence slow, and bring
the eternal note of sadness in
the eternal note of sadness in
Oceane leaves Castile at the border of Loess.
It makes her heart ache to abandon the former king in the Forest, to cross the threshold into the foothills kingdom without him, but he has given her the details of the past year as best he could, has told her why he would not be returning with her, and so it's on her own that the opalescent woman gallops precariously down the well-worn path from the Forest to Loess. She inhales deep as her wings unfurl and she is suddenly airborne once more; her muscles still ache from the trek out of Pangea but to exercise them more as she peers down onto her beloved home is worth it. Everything looks the same, beautiful beneath the light of the summer sun, and yet it all feels so different.
The violet woman catches sight of Lepis' familiar frame not long after nearing the heart of Loess. Oceane redirects her flight with a simple tilt of her flight feathers in the direction of her dear friend ─ Loess' Regent, appointed by Castile, she had thought until now ─ and with evidence that she has been out of flight practice since arriving in Pangea, the opalescent woman alights upon the hard earth of Loess without grace.
"Lepis," she greets with a smile after she has recovered from her stumble. Regardless of what Castile had told her in the Forest before dropping her off like a kind chaperone, there is still more joy in Oceane than anything else. Joy to be home, to be with her friend, to be able to see her son.
"What do you say we go find my son, some prickly pear, and a quiet place to chat?"
She grins, pivoting her frame towards the north of Loess, facing the canyon that Lepis had brought her the first time they met.

"@[Lepis]"
i must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
and all i ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by
