Put the pieces back together

Ignatius had wanted time away from Kirsi and she had rather begrudgingly agreed. What else could she do, after all? After all she had done and all she had lost, he was the only one she had left - driving that already-deep wedge between them even further wouldn't help her situation. She kept her distance, keeping tabs on him from afar, noting the smells of him as well as Sephira, which didn't settle terribly well with her, but what could she do? The distance was painful but she knew not to agitate him, and that was how she'd spent most of autumn and the rest of winter, lingering just outside the borders of Fyri, close enough that Ignatius might catch a whiff of her here and there but not close enough to agitate him - or so she hoped. The icy cold of the north was not unfamiliar to her, but somehow even in all its beauty she felt stifled by the snow. It only exacerbated the frigid loneliness in her heart, making each day more difficult than the last. The arrival of a light snowfall should've brightened her dreary mood, but it did no such thing. She trudged mutely along over the vast expanse of ice, occasionally blinking and pausing to shake the fat snowflakes from her face. The wind's speed made the climb a bit more difficult, whipping relentlessly at her face as though urging her to turn around. Always quietly defiant, she pressed on, though as the landscape shifted so did the scents she'd picked up on. Was she really closing in on Ignatius? His scent had been faint, but quickly grew overwhelming. She hadn't meant to find him, not like last time, and her pace slowed into an uncertain crawl as she tried to regain her composure. She swallowed hard when a gust of wind brought a flurry of snow up into the air and then it settled down again, revealing none other than Ignatius in the distance, his fiery coat a stark contrast to the pale white snow. This time she was frozen, as though encased in ice herself, pale blue eyes fixing on him and refusing to let go. |
