lonesome I came

'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned
Everything you lose is a step you take

They each relax in their own way, settling into one another's presence. Lyra watches him through her lashes for a moment before her gaze skitters out over the water. She has often thought about attuning, but hasn't been able to bring herself to ask. It feels selfish, somehow, especially when she's already been given so much by the gods. "That sounds... incredibly freeing," she comments, a certain wistfulness in her voice that she doesn't try to hide. "I've often wondered what it must be like, to be able to shift. To see the world through another perspective." Just as she's imagined, often, how useful it must be, to have access to stronger senses, to a different body, to a bond that she can only begin to imagine.

Talk turns to her quest. "I got lucky," she says with a light laugh. "I've been traveling around, looking for somewhere clear, and I finally thought, why not try a desert?" It's a ways from home, it's true, but she's been traveling for the better part of a season, hoping to expand her skillset and get used to different environments. "Torchline is home," she says. "Born and raised. It's only been recently that I've had the urge to travel. I work search and rescue, and I guess I thought... why not learn how to do the same work all across Caido? If I could help more people, then..." It would all be worth it.

So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it
You've got no reason to be afraid
