Cordelia
It wasn't strange having Noah back. None of it was, really. The strangeness came with why he left in the first place. The things that kept him away. His new calling. Cordelia was happy for him. Truly. To have something else to work towards. A new calling. A new way to fight for what's important to him. A way to protect Halo and the ones he loves.
But Cordelia knew what it meant. That it would pull him away from her. From the home they built. A selfish part of her hates this. Hates that he'll be gone from her again. Never in one place for long and brought into dangerous positions at an increasing rate.
These thoughts swirled through her head as she sat at the edge of the pool, feet dangling into the water, bottom lip caught between her teeth as she watched the sun slowly sink towards the horizon. They hadn't decided what they were doing yet. If they'd be returning to King's End together or if Noah was leaving them to head back to Stormbreak. Once more she felt displaced and unsure. She longed for the familiarity of home. Of their small cabin site hidden in the woods. The longer things went on, the more Cordelia began to wonder if anywhere would ever be home for more than a season.

All the king's horses, all the king's men
Couldn't put me together again
Couldn't put me together again
