Down the Rabbit Hole

It was definitely a relief to be outside again, and Solveiga stretched herself out a little as if to relieve the cramped feeling that had come from being in such a tight, enclosed space. She then sighed a bit, and put on a small smile as she looked to her right to where Peregrine was readjusting to the cool night air as well. In response to her question, the earthen woman said she'd actually rather keep the mystery and adventure. Go wherever the wind took her, that sort of thing. The smaller woman couldn't deny the faint tug of disappointment in her chest, but she tried to stay bright and pleasant on the outside as she nodded. After all, for a long while that had been the philosophy Solveiga had followed as well. As for her clever final words, it seemed that Solveiga would not get to hear them today, and she chuckled and gave the woman a bit of a wry smile. "Pity," she said again, quite glad to see how Peregrine had responded to her use of humor. It wasn't something she did all that often, making jokes and snide comments. But that didn't mean she didn't have a few up her sleeve.
The two were silent for a moment, and then Peregrine let out a yawn and spoke of her plans to find a place to sleep and then set out in the morning. Part of her wanted to know where this bold, adventurous woman was headed next. But that was her business, and besides, she probably didn't really know. So Solveiga just nodded, and gave another smile. "Thank you as well," she said softly. "I hope we see each other again sometime, whenever the wind happens to blow you my way," The girl added, an almost teasing tone in her voice probably brought on by the wink that had been sent her way. After this, she merely gave a small nod and departed, sighing lightly as she walked off into the night.
