Dani
Who have you chose
to stand as your martyr?
to stand as your martyr?
Dani felt the tension return to Anden as she asked about the settlement. She shifted warily, wondering what awaited them. Regardless, she had no other choice. At the very least, she'd need to gather supplies before she could even think about returning to this wasteland on her own.. and even then, she had no skills to lend to her survival. Dani felt the beginnings of a headache, realizing that her success in this world was entirely dependent on how quickly she would be able to adapt. 'This will be the hardest part,' she reassured herself.
She was able to relax a bit with the offer of shelter from Anden, and briefly wondered at his hesitation in saying the word friend. However, her thought was abruptly disrupted and replaced with shock at the speed in which Anden suddenly moved. She blinked a couple of times before firmly rubbing her eyes and laughing softly at herself. Whether what she saw was attributed to the curse he'd spoken of or her own sleep deprivation, she'd consider later. For now, the settlement. "If it's truly not an issue, then I'll be imposing on you a bit longer." She was grateful that she'd have at least one semi-familiar person nearby for the time being.
When Anden refocused on the sky and posed his question, she smiled. It'd been a long time since she'd been able to consider such romantic ideas, but the warm feeling it induced was by no means unwelcome. She stared up at the sky and explored with her eyes. It didn't take much time before she settled on one.
"That one." She pointed to a group of stars that resided to the right of the ones Anden had showed her. To her, they looked a bit like a bird taking flight (a bird with an abnormally large wingspan, but the flaw added character if nothing else.) "That's mine." A bird breaking away from the familiarity of its tree and journeying into the uncharted skies beyond. Dani found the symbolism of their found constellations pleasing. She looked back at Anden and wondered at what he saw in those stars, and the thoughts they provoked.
