And I never wanted anything from you
Burger noticed her first, his pace shifting before Wren even had a chance to understand why. The desert didn’t seem to unsettle him at all. If anything, it seemed to agree with him. He chose his footing like it was obvious, like the bones had always been part of the path. His ears tipped forward as he threaded them between pale ribs and half-buried vertebrae with a steady, unthinking confidence.
Wren followed that change a moment later, how his ears shifted frrom listening to him to perking forward, her gaze lifting from the supplies strapped at her saddle to the shape ahead. A figure moving through the Boneyard, small against the sweep of skeletal remains and bright sand. Burger angled them closer without hesitation, and she let him, one hand loose on the reins as if she trusted his judgment more than her own. She wondered if it was Colt, and that was why her steed was so inclined to move them towards the figure.
Burger slowed as they drew nearer, calm and certain, until Wren stopped him about two horse lengths from the woman as shecalled out. Wren straightened slightly in the saddle, studying the woman through the glare. After a beat, she called answered, "Yeah... I'm okay. Just bringing supplies back from the sky port." because the girl seemed friendly enough. Burger shifted his weight, idly crunching on the steel in his mouth as he often did. Wren's mind wracked, trying to pinpoint how this woman looked vaguely familiar.

Except everything you had and what was left after that too
