She had wandered for months ignoring the pain that gripped her heart and the exhaustion that gripped her body. But not once had she ignored the blue face that tamed her nightmares while she slept. They didn't know much of each other but he had been there when she had been all but alone.
She leaned into him as he repeated over again that it was not her fault. His touch had done much the first time they had met to calm her nerves and though time had passed it did not fail her once more.
She had fallen into Taiga in a way. Aten had saved her from the pull of the river when she had all but given up entirely. They had talked endless hours getting to know each other. She felt safe with Aten. A home that would be there when all else failed. But for some reason he would never stir her heart in the same way that Raed did.
Two men she had grown to care for, in different ways. In this moment Aten did not even hold a place in her mind. She found herself wanting to know Raed, to know his kindness and gentleness. A part of her felt that he would always be wandering, never quite settling down, but she could handle that if she could handle all she had been dealt in the last year.
She could smell his travels clinging to him as she fell endlessly into his embrace. I have settled in Taiga. I would have come to find you sooner if I had.. her sentence trailed off as she backed away from him. Her large amethyst eyes swirled with a harmonious group of purples as they searched his blue greys, she would never tire of those eyes no matter how many times they lose or find each other. Where have you been? she said her voice soft, mingling with the quiet cacophony of birds nestled in the trees above.
