COLT
The sun has long since burned away the morning mist, but its warmth doesn't descend readily. A truth all around Caido this season, but it seems particularly distant today, at least here, upon her. The knitted poncho around her shoulders is one she draws tighter across her chest, fingers curling into the fabric with a grip that turns her knuckles pale.

She has avoided this place ever since she walked away from it. It's been traveled plenty of times in her sleep, and while returning home should seem like a dream, it's always been the nightmare of it burning. Standing before it now, there's no flames licking up all she'd ever known, nor the blackened bones of what had already been picked clean by the voracious fire, but it still rolls through her with all the smoke of something extinguishing slowly.

"It almost doesn't look like it," she murmurs beside Thorn, the words requiring enough effort from her that her head doesn't have the strength left to hold itself. Slowly she leans into his shoulder, cheek resting there. The tilt of her gaze continues to trail every edge of strangeness that has come to rest over something once as familiar as her own hand. Her inhale catches on the way in, suspended in the back of her throat before her ribs make room for it.

"It's pretty, though." The meadow is a fury of color, unlike any of the rest would naturally be. Here, all the seeds Sunjata spread had flourished, fed by ash that has soaked into the soil. 



Complete a thread unearthing flowers from Meadowreach (roots and all!)

Baby, don't fall for me, I'll tell you right now
You're gonna hate me when we hit the ground
Think you're gonna fix me, think we're making progress
You'll be broken with me somewhere in the process
Received a Gilded Market wig from Remi that resembles her usual hair and is enchanted to stay on better than most wigs | has a reverse centaur tattoo on her left hand with the legs going down her pointer and middle fingers that looks like this.

// oh we could never be together //
At this point, the planted flowers had certainly grown up enough to have steady roots among the ashen remains of the ranch. And with it, the slow bloom of all the flowers and their rainbows of colors were pretty – like a reminder that from the ashes, something beautiful could be made. It almost reminds him of Colt, in a way. That despite the terrible thing(s) that had happened, she’d always found a way to turn it into something better. This part, in particular, was a catalyst of her going to Hak Etme, and for that Thorn is quietly proud of his friend.

Yeah.” He agrees softly, his arm wrapping around her as she tucks in against his side, hugging her gently as her cheek warms up his shoulder, injecting through his coat. “Do you want specific flowers or are we jus’ goin’ for what looks nicest?” He asks, angling his head toward her and shoots her a small but gentle smile. He squeezes her shoulders gently, looking back toward the flowers thoughtfully. “M’a sucker for the pink ‘n purple ones.” But she’d know that.
