You made yourself a bed

At the bottom of the blackest hole
LongNight was in full swing when Alys arrived at Tal's new home, bag of necessities in hand. Sascha bumbled along in the seer's wake, lumbering shakily through the snow behind her bonded. From time to time, she would stop to shove her nose into a drift or run to dive playfully into a bank; for the most part, though, the little cub stuck to Alys's side like a burr, unwilling to stray too far from the woman.
It was strange, the change in Alys since finding Sascha. She'd never thought of herself as particularly motherly, but she'd taken to caring for the cub as easily as breathing, and she found herself fiercely protective of the ursur in a way that she'd never before experienced. When Alys was young, her mother had always said she'd had to have eyes in the back of her head, to keep track of her children when she wasn't looking. Now Alys found that to be far too true: Sascha had a penchant for mischief in a way that only a toddler could. Just now, for example, the cub peered curiously around her, and Alys could feel the cogs of her mind turning as she grew excited to explore a new place.
Lips twitching with a smile, Alys knocked on the door. She knew Tal was expecting her, but she didn't know if he'd left the door unlocked, and it seemed rude, anyway, to barge in without him letting her in.
