here comes the sun
Solveiga hummed softly in contentment as she bit into a blackberry and felt its juices spread across her tongue. There was a burst of sweetness, one that brought a smile to her lips as she chewed. It may have been natural for her kind to crave and enjoy meat, but Solveiga honestly preferred the sweetness of these berries to any flavor of meat. They were a rare treat, which perhaps made them even more delicious. She sighed and closed her eyes for a moment, tail swaying through the dry grasses as she soaked up the sun.
And that's when she heard the thump.
Surprised and a little confused, Solveiga opened her eyes and looked around, trying to find what had made such an odd sound. Nearby she saw a young male, and judging by his markings he was one of the children of Creed and Kavdaya. Solveiga couldn't help the way her blue eyes widened, and her lips curled up in amusement at the way he flopped to the ground. But he was so big already! How could that be? Had Solveiga really been gone that long?
The boy stood again and made to walk past her, but it was then that he took notice of her and spun around to grin at her bashfully and give her a greeting. The little healer giggled and sat up a bit to give him a polite bow of her head in return. "Pleasure to meet you, Fable," she said. "I'm Solveiga."
Then, remembering the blackberries at her feet, she gestured at them and smiled at the boy. "Would you care for a blackberry, Fable?" |
