Take me somewhere new

Esarosa tried to search his expression as he greeted her, but it was as difficult for her as ever. Was he happy to see her? Had he been lingering here in hopes of finding someone, or being found? Maybe he was just as lost as she was, and didn't know what else to say. She couldn't blame him. Life was just starting to get comfortable, routine was setting in, and now it was suddenly gone. She perked up and stepped closer to him as he spoke, the uncertainty in his voice very clear. The fire flies seemed to have gathered closer, and she could see him better now as he shrugged. Esa nodded; she didn't know where she'd go, or if anything out there would suit her well enough that she could still just be herself. "I dunno either, but..." she murmured, glancing around into the dark, rainy night, "I don't want to be alone anymore." The dark, wet willows looked glum and uninviting, besides the fire flies that offered their glow. Still, her eyes turned back to Steel. "We should... stick together, right?" she asked quietly, hoping he wouldn't object to staying near her. She wondered if he also tired of the lone life, or if he was content to return to that lifestyle. She certainly wasn't, and she hoped he would want to stay with her. Tilting her head as her eyes met his, she waved her tail slightly. "Whatever we do, we should probably find shelter," she suggested, feeling the drizzling rain dampen her coat, "Even if it's just for the night. I don't know about you, but I'm sick of this rain!" The flickering insects buzzed around them, the light coming and going. Relieved that she'd found Steel, Esa thought she might actually be able to enjoy the scenery. Hopeful, she continued to stare at him, waiting for him to say something. |
