Alys
And I can still see it all in my mind
All of you, all of me intertwined
All of you, all of me intertwined
Happiness permeated the air around them, and for Alys, it was a welcome change. It wasn't that she had been unhappy - after all, her shop was thriving, and her clientele was growing, and by any measure, things were going quite well for the seer. It was just that it was easier to celebrate her victories with Tal beside her. It helped that the picnic was a welcome distraction from all of the questions and fear swirling around Caido at present. Here, now, she didn't have to worry about Void creatures and the Family and broadcasts into her head. She could simply be, and that brought her a measure of peace that had been difficult to find in recent weeks.
They sat for a moment in comfortable silence, dreaming of their future, until Alys broke the spell with her gentle teasing. Tal responded in kind, though there was a touch of truth in it. And Alys was sorely tempted to say yes. She could, after all, be a seer whether she was here or there or everywhere. She could build her clientele across Caido just as easily as she could specifically in King's End. For that matter, it might be better to build a larger customer base.
But then, who would watch the shop?
She pursed her lips in thought. "Well, I did finally find an assistant to help run the shop," she mused aloud, turning over her thoughts as she spoke. "She's not quite ready to take over the day-to-day yet, but she's learning quickly. Maybe... if things go well with her, then maybe..." She trailed off. "If there's someone to run the shop, and I could schedule time to come home for my tarot clients, I don't see why I couldn't come with you. I miss those days," she admitted ruefully. "I love our home, and I'm proud of the shop, but I think I was happier when we were traveling togehter."

I once believed love would be black and white
But it's golden
But it's golden
