This Peace I've Found

Life since Novel had returned had been remarkably easy. Despite the many years that had passed, falling back into their familiar routines with ease. While she wasn't at all glad that Athena was gone, it was admittedly easier to not have to explain things to her, or to Novel - if there was anything to explain at all. Perhaps she had simply been overthinking things, but it'd been a long while since she'd been close to anyone and she'd found herself looking forward to the other woman's company. Now, though.. she was simply grateful for Novel's return to her, not one to dwell on things she had no control over. No, especially in her old age, she was content to bask in the present and be grateful for what she had now. She trailed lazily after Novel's scent, not surprised to find her lying in the still-luscious grasses of the valley. Winter would be here soon, and while never very harsh in these western lands, would still encounter some small traces of winter's presence. Ara was certain she'd made the right choice settling her, and hopefully would even be able to offer some knowledge in return for an easy, peaceful life. She thought back to when Torin had suggested she might offer some kind of healer training - even if the lessons were less formal, one-on-one ordeals, perhaps Novel might join her in spreading their knowledge to the wolves of Lirim. She mused over the idea as she made her way toward her, a gentle smile spreading over her lips. "Is the afternoon treating you two well?" She asked softly, eyes dancing from Elohim to Novel's face, genuine affection brimming in her blue stare. |
