Gods, does she need it. The arrival of the Spark Bird was fortuitous and wonderful, but still not enough to distract her from the trauma she'd endured, the darkness in her soul. Nor him, still broken and devastated by the loss of Rexanna, trapped in the dark with a body for that longest night.
So she'd dragged him out, forced them both into the cool Deepfrost air. She'd said it would be for exercise and training but truly she just wants to play, to pretend the world isn't horrible for even one stolen minute. Once they reach the garden the leopardess turns around, dark eyes glittering with playfulness and desperation, the tragic pleading of someone currently stuck together with tape.
