Oh, empty my heart
... a young woman emerged from around a bend, strolling towards them. The white fabric of her simple summer dress lent her a luminous air in the twilit garden. Like a star gone astray from the night sky, perhaps, if one were poetically inclined. Dark locks coiled in wild abandon over the slender shoulders and her feet were bare, hardly touching the ground between each languid stride. She approached them unhurriedly, with light fingertips trailing over the flowers surrounding the path so that they swayed and danced in her wake, but it was a distracted gesture. Her attention was on the figures ahead. On the goddess, of course, for it was impossible to overlook Safrin. But mostly she was focused on the man.
A few paces away from the pair the raven-haired girl paused, and waited. The lightly freckled face was calm, if not serene. Too many emotions played across the expressive mouth for that, trembling unvoiced just beneath the surface.
The eyes that gazed upon Ronin were vibrantly blue. Full of laughter, and perhaps a touch of nerves. It had been a long time since last... and she had changed so much since then. Would he recognize her?

I've got to make room for this feeling
