Seraphina
the artificer
working the goldfields on the high sierras
the early snow began to fall

It’s something that Seraphina absolutely wouldn’t – couldn’t – miss. She makes a spot for it, dropping nearly everything else she’d been scatterbrained about, meeting Gideon at the start of the gardens to follow his imposing figure through toward the shrine. She’s silent, her hair pulled back, her clothes clean and well put together despite everything – wanting to look strong in the face of the blow they recently suffered.
She stays silent even further as she stops a few feet from Gideon, her eyes staring into his back. The command is given and she’s quick to follow suit, stepping up to the shrine and placing her basket of fruit and trinkets on the shrine as an offering, before she steps back to kneel beside and slightly behind Gideon, her head bowed, prepared to start her own little prayer alongside Gideon’s and everyone else’s.

buried treasure for my darling
