Vervain
even the darkest night
will end
will end
This isn't her first time parting the veil to visit the land of the living, but it is the first time she's had to stand in line for it. Knowing only that this must be something special, Vai waits until Vanya and Aoife have stepped through before she finally arrives on the sunset-warmed sands of Torchline. Even the air smells the same - salt sweet and freeing in a way the woods had never been able to replicate, despite her bone deep love for the trees, and she shades her eyes against the light to gaze at all those gathered.
Unable to stifle the smile that spreads across her freckled cheeks, she's just in time to see the osprey embrace both Remi and Ronin, Aoife kicking sand and flinging herself towards her fathers with a toddler's chaotic joy. She won't steal that moment from them for the world, and so Vai turns instead to the next most obvious part of the party: the drinks SunjataTall and scarred enough to be a beacon among the rest of those gathered, she does visit the drinks table at least before approaching him, offering him out something sweet and very alcoholic, her skirts whispering at her heels.
"Hey, Sunny," she greets. "You're looking well."
