She takes the plate, but she doesn’t leave the stool just yet. Not until he’s finished cooking his will she start eating her own. Manners, and all that.

The freedom, the ability to just go without having to walk and drift, to look above the boughs of the trees and live by the way the winds changed, feeling the currents beneath the edges of tilted primaries.
But of course, the smile fades as he mentions Safrin had been blighted still – and perhaps, she wonders, if that’s why it had taken a darker turn. Would she, in her blighted state, cared to save him if he couldn’t pull the wings from his body, the attuned to his mind? She, herself, wouldn’t have cared at all in her blighted state. And it’s that quiet realization that has her quiet as she mentions her own shrine visit, following to the table and lifting a fork to break into the yolk of the egg, picking up the bread leftover from the bakery to dip into it.

“Ludo told me there wasn’t… Because Ru’in’s soul didn’t go to them.” There’s a small frown. “Ludo does not know where he is. It wants me to find him.” Her eyes lift up, almost as if she can imagine the look on his face but needing to see it in person as the information hits.
