Vervain
She’d been able to smell the smoke on the air the night it happened. But by the time Vai got outside, by the time there was any help to be had, the Senzaok house was burned to the ground, and all its inhabitants were missing. It’s been a couple of days since then, and between running fucking Torchline and trying to take care of the rest of the sick, she’s been searching for her runaways.
That search has taken her to the Slagveld today, and up to where Sunjata had taken her previously. Vai looks ruffled, tanned from the LongHeat sun, her curls pulled up off the back of her neck, and she’s got no time for anyone’s shit, as is evidenced by the way she heads straight up the stairs. ”Sunny?” she calls, trying to hide the hope in her voice. ”Nate?”
