There's an art to life's distraction, to somehow escape the burning wait, the art of scraping through
There was a quiet appreciation that came from the fact that her jealousy wasn't mentioned, and from the fact that the view she was lacking wasn't mentioned too much.

Hester sighs through the bond, the shadow swooping above her sending her running, hiding under shards sticking out of the ground, still trusting the ice this early in the season, in this shape.
