Hotaru
i'm still here but all is lost
With newfound trust and strength in her avian figure, the world seems smaller and more manageable. As such, adventure and exploration have returned to her weekly roster of events. She brings the twins when she can - shorter ventures, usually within the Greatwood's borders - but even with their sped up aging they are young and easy to tire, and with no wings or animal forms to carry them swiftly at her side. So Hotaru is in Hak Etme alone as the endless sky and unbroken horizon bleed with all manner of colors as the sunrise looms before her. It is profoundly beautiful, and horribly lonely to experience in solitude. But that is simply what life is for her now. Those she'd stood side by side with in Halo had vanished from her life in the wake of the invasion. She knows they live because of Deimos, but they never sought her out. It is a hurt she refuses to face or acknowledge. Attachment was never a problem before she came to Caido. Perhaps she is becoming soft the older she gets. Allowing people too close, where they can hurt her with something as simple as their absence or lack of returned affection.
Irritated by the morose nature of her thoughts and yet unable to escape them, she lands and transforms upon the sand, keen eyes sweeping its surface. Ru always travels light on these adventures, and it is time she finds some food.
