friendly faces in unknown places

Sah

Only in the dark
of night

Sah moved when prompted, quickly putting a few logs on the fire. The embers sparked up a bit and the house already felt warmer. He went to return to his seat, but adjusted the blanket around Ilma first, much to her protest. "I can do it myself brat." She half-heartedly smacked his hands away but Sah just winked and completed the task. Back at his spot, Sah sighed. "I'm not sure just yet. I did promise to make that shrine visit but I'm not really eager to go. I will. It's just that I just got home. I want to stay in Halo for a bit, get Lilly used to the area."

Ilma nodded, as he's already told her about that plan. "I see. Now, go help your sister with the dishes and bring me a snack, will you?" She then waved Sah off who was frozen stiff. "My what?" He glanced at the kitchen, not fully comprehending, and not sure if Aino had heard Ilma. The elder had said that rather quietly.
