[ Closing her eyes, her head raises enough so that she can press another kiss to his chest, letting her lips linger there for a few beats of his heart before resting her head. One hand reaches up to idly glide along his jawline back and forth, the other rests on his hip. ] I would say that I despise us being brought here only to fight their battles, except that then we wouldn't have met, and I can't regret that at all. No matter how it started.
[ She still marvels sometimes that he did choose her, that their true age difference, her silver hair and her body marked with the passing of time, didn't deter him in the end. She's never lacked self-confidence, but she's also never thought of herself as particularly eye-catching, and not to someone who could likely have any woman his age he set his eyes on. ]
I wish there were safe woods to retreat to. [ Like in her domain, once. She feels at her best when she's lost in the forest, foraging and quietly letting herself blend into and become a part of the nature around her. ] Too deep into the woods of Solvunn and beasts are likely to stalk and kill. I have a magic bracer that will shield me with a thought, but it isn't enough to feel safe living deeply among the trees. [ Not after being nearly eviscerated; if Wrench hadn't found her and Michael hadn't subsequently healed her after, she'd be another Solvunn fatality. ] When the rifts opened and creatures poured out, some stayed behind and have a home there now.
[ OOC: Yeah, I'd put it halfway between both months so that I could get that sweet, sweet Nocwich time before Claire went to the council. It's no worries, I honestly didn't even realize we were rping from two different perspectives until your note, LOL. ]
