500 miles away from home

NOAH

Noah stepped back from the door and gestured for Seren to come inside. Eira followed at the heels of the demigoddess, her tail curling around her legs as she walked into Noah's home. It was warm inside, and surprisingly bright. The murals that Delphine painted still covered the wooden walls. Vivid greens and blues of places she had seen in her time before Caido, as well as some images from the place she lived with her daughters, and some of the jungle of Torchline. All of it was dampened, though, by a beautiful painting of the fangs that covered the space above Noah's hearth.

"Not with anything I can't finish later." He closed the door behind the young woman, and turned to take off and hang his apron near the door to the newly remodeled butchery. "I have two kinds of tea. One is a fruity tea I traded for in the Hollowed Grounds," He grabbed two mugs as he entered the kitchen space, setting them on the table before two chairs for them to sit, "and one is fairly sharp. I got it from Torchline."

Seren's attention was instantly drawn to Korbin, and as Noah lifted the kettle off the table to fill with water, he let his eyes move up to the bird momentarily. He hoped that the presence of the girl did not panic him. It was not Delphine, so that was good. He knew Korbin would not have stayed with him if the blonde woman still resided here. "That's Korbin." Noah said, looking to Seren to see her reaction. The hunter introduced him the same way he did Eira, hoping that the raven would stay at ease even with her here now. He turned, then, with a full kettle and set it on the hook above the flames to start it on heating.

I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm

Don't worry I'll keep you warm
