Mist thins first, not dispersing so much as remembering itself, the veil loosening where divinity presses close enough to bruise the world. Safrin does not arrive as a body stepping into place, but as an inevitability with light bending, sound withdrawing, the Barrows holding their breath as though the dead themselves recognise her.
The shrine warms beneath Safrin's attention, stone drinking starlight it was never meant to hold, and she resolves herself from the brightness with languid precision. Silk-dark hair spills over one shoulder, threaded with constellations that should not be visible beneath a merciless sun, before her eyes immediately catch on what has been laid down in offering. Safrin’s gaze lingers there longest, appreciation soft and private. How careful Colt is. How deliberate. How wounded. Safrin does not comment on that.
Instead, she lifts her eyes at last, meeting the woman standing below with a smile that could be kindness, could be warning, could be both depending on how closely one looks. There is a wink—brief, conspiratorial, devastating in its ease—and when Safrin speaks, her voice carries the hush of tombs and the distant hum of stars grinding patiently against eternity. "You have interpreted my tasks so cleverly." There's no mention of tangled hearts or divine sons or the small, human mess of desire and consequence.
Her hand lifts, fingers tracing a lazy arc through the air as though she is brushing dust from the sky itself, and with the motion comes creation: A belt buckle settles beside the offerings, metal cool and perfect, its surface alive with contained starlight that pulses like a captured heartbeat.
