Love mends even the broken parts
Loren heard Maea's words, though he obviously couldn't comment on them in his current form. As he flew into the sky above, Astra munched happily on the apple. Gladly, she settled in to cuddle with the pale-skinned woman. The luxere even let out a contented bleat as she did.
Below him, the landscape unfolded, a riot of colors. His eyes noted the way it rose but mostly fell on its way to the many beaches. He traced the line of the coast, where water hit sand. Finally, he spotted what looked like islands in the distance.
Banking a bit, he slowly descended. When he landed, he shifted back to human, and reached for his pack. Rummaging through it, he glanced curiously at Maea. "What's going on with you and Nate?" Pulling out a blank sheet and a stick of charcoal, he laid it on the ground, then began sketching rough contours, starting with the shape of the coast.
