It's rare for me to be out and about in the Tundra, especially on such a lovely day. A clear blue sky accented by fluffy white clouds—normally with this kind of weather I'd either be curled up in a cave somewhere or off exploring Beqanna. Today I'm not in the mood for the dark isolation of my favorite cave—though if I did make my way to one, maybe Lee would come and find me, and that thought does interesting things to my insides.
Um.
Clearing my throat, I look around, part of me needing to make sure no one overheard that confusing little whisper of a thought. Holding her in the dark, her skin on mine, the smell of her hair and the feel of her pressed against me, it's...private. Mine. I tuck it away inside and it keeps the dark parts company, an almost unsettling warmth in my chest where nothing but desperate, aching loneliness once was.
As I look around, I hear a clear, high voice call my name. Mari. I can't help but grin as she runs toward me, her golden coat shifting to match the blue of the sky. I love that about her; she so easily wears her joy on her skin for the whole world to see. I have never been so brave, nor so innocent. And I'm so damn glad she still is. My lovely Mari. Before long, those eager strides carry her to my side, and when she's next to me I wrap myself around her in a huge hug. “Hello, rainbow-girl. How are you today?”
