Vervain
even the darkest night
will end
will end
A crack appears in the door and a familiar blue eye peeps out. Smirking, Vai tilts her head as if to try and decipher why Nate is playing coy, only suddenly he's bundling her up inside. "Hallo Nate!" Her cheerful greeting is muffled - she only notices that her basket has been taken, not by which hand, focusing instead on hugging him tightly back. "I missed you too. I'm sorry I haven't visited sooner," she murmurs, stepping back to look him over with a smile that fades by degrees.
Vai notes the lost eye, and the basket grasped by a hand that belongs to Nate but doesn't, as well as all the other markers of stress, of a difficult few weeks if not more. "I came to see you," she says as if it should be obvious, giving him a playful shove as they head towards the kitchen. "I wanted to see how you were doing. I also brought a few seedlings from the Greatwood to add to the herb garden, and some vegetables and mushrooms."
