my heart turns as if a tide. let anything happen, it says
wash me on the stones, curl me from the edge, cut me from the bone
wash me on the stones, curl me from the edge, cut me from the bone
A subtle tremor rippled through the attuned bond, a flicker of astonishment emanating from Aurelia as he spoke directly into her mind.
Aurelia, for now, chose not to mirror his method, a silent nod of her massive feline head serving as her sole response. Her eyes, sharp and observant, remained fixed on the freshly planted seedpod, a silent vigil filled with anticipation. Would something miraculous occur? Would the earth tremble, the sky crack open, heralding the seed's power? But the world remained still, the only sound the gentle lapping of waves against the shore. Patience, she reminded herself.
Hadama's voice broke the silence.
Surprise flickered across her feline features, her whiskers twitching with curiosity. She hadn't expected such a direct invitation, a desire for further connection. A warmth spread through her chest.
I will be here, she replied, her thoughts imbued with a newfound confidence, I've always been fond of the beach. I find solace in the rhythm of the tides, the vastness of the horizon. A playful purr rumbled in her throat, a hint of a smile in her telepathic voice, You will see me again if you wish. You need only look for me.
