Alys
In the days and weeks following Sascha’s death at the hands of the void yeti, Alys slept.
It was a mark of her depression that she refused to travel with her partner, and that she even left her tarot cards untouched. She dragged herself through the motions of living, forcing a meal, a bath, a walk out back to the grave they’d dug for the ursur - but it all felt surreal, like she was watching herself press on, unable to fully experience it.
The one thing she was able to do (and admittedly did too much of) was sleep. When she slept, she was blessedly free of the knowledge of her companion’s death, blissfully able to imagine a world in which Sascha still lived. The occasional nightmare was marked by the blood of Sohalia or Zavien against the snow, but she could live with those memories. And, thankfully, she hadn’t seen Sascha’s death with her own eyes, so she wasn’t haunted by watching the light slip from the little ursur’s eyes over and over again. So she slept, often and for long stretches, bundled up in blankets against the winter chill.
And sometimes, when she dreamed, she saw snatches of things she didn’t quite understand.
