OOC: Whoops cursing, watch out
ART BY THERBIS <3
Peregrine was at first astounded by the calm and mystic nature of Sparrow's approach. Once it became evident that she'd roused the woman from slumber, a slumber she apparently had not entirely shaken off yet, Peregrine tensed. She was obviously still in for the worst of it. She accepted the woman's embrace eagerly all the same. Sparrow was sweet, anf genuine, and passionate. They were all remarkable qualities in Pere's eyes, and damn her for being such a... such an irresponsible fuck up. "Wait. Pere? It's REALLY you?" Peregrine squeezed her eyes shut and waited. After a breath she cracked one open, just in time to feel Sparrow crash into her side. Okay wow, affection was not what she would have guessed to find, but Pere was more than willing to just roll with it. A nervous laugh bubbled out from within her chest, occasionally resurfacing as the other earthen lass nipped at her chest and cheeks. "Where the fuck have you been?" Okay yeah, that was the Sparrow she'd expected to find. Peregrine's ears pinned back against her skull, awash with guilt. "I- I'm sorry, I didn't- Look it wasn't my choice, Sparrow! I swear, I would have stayed if I could." She opened her mouth to spill out her tale, but the words stuck in her throat. She wanted to explain, but she couldn't imagine where to begin. It sounded like a fairy tale, and she didn't want Sparrow to think she was lying to her. She had been taken, and fed... fed something to keep her weak and dimwitted. Tsiry had stolen what food of hers she could, always keeping to the shadows. Tsiry had saved her... Peregrine cast a quick glance in the lemur's direction, and found her vivd blue eyes alight with understanding. Peregrine was certain Tsiry knew where her mind had gone, and for a rare moment she showed her nothing but love and understanding. Peregrine blinked, and sighed. "I understand if you don't want me around anymore. Honestly I hate letting others down." In truth, it was why Peregrine did not make many lasting friendships. It was why she stayed on her own, because it was just easier that way. She was too much the sort to blow in on the wind, and out again the next day with no explanation. It was in her blood, it was who she was, no matter how hard she tried to change it. She had gambled with her future when overtaking Myriad, but worse than that, she had gambled with Sparrows and Ollie's and so many other's too. Her head sank, and she wilted. "I... I can go if you want me to." Peregrine was pretty sure that Sparrow wanted her too. She kept her eyes downcast, a woman normally so robust and vibrant reduced to a dull, careless gait. It wasn't the first time she had been struck by guilt over what she'd done. Her hopes had been so high, and she'd been so arrogant, so drunk on power that she'd gone and put herself in danger. For the first time in her life she'd found people to truly love and care about, a reason to stay put somewhere, and it had been swept away from her anyways. So what was the point of trying? She had no desire to rekindle whatever Aerie might have been. The universe had made it clear that her role in life was to be nothing but a vagabond, a wayward wanderer with no home but what she carried on her back, right? And Sparrow deserved wolves who were able to keep her company, and stay by her side right? The inner monologue didn't seem to be doing her any good, but there was no stopping it now. Maybe she should have taken the long way around the pack after all... |
