the potential of you and me

Tumultuous thoughts lingered in her mind every waking moment it seemed, the coming raid, her missing nephews. Hope was trying to blossom in Abaven, and Beat’s return helped the Memoire girl. There was another reason for her to become hopeful, her budding relationship with Corvus. It was easy to say that the two of them were becoming good friends. He was eager to support her quest in returning her relatives, but more than that she enjoyed his presence. She cared deeply for the Destruction man.

He wasn’t far from her thoughts, and it seemed she managed to summon him to the spot on the beach. Her name was on his lips and she didn’t hesitate to turn towards him as he approached her. Twig’s features lifted visibly, a smile played on her pale features as she felt a relief in her anxieties with his presence. For a short moment the girl could forget about all the troubles in her life and in Abaven. Twig could focus on Corvus and how happy he made her with only his presence.

”Corvus,” she returned warmly as he approached and offered him a place beside her. At least this time Autumn could manage a smile. She had to guess that he was out patrolling, much like she was. Now seemed as good a time as ever to enjoy each other’s company after some hard work. They deserved a bit of rest, she wasn’t sure she had really smiled since their race on the beach.

”How are you?” Twig asked, but as soon as she did felt awkward for it. They had so much tragedy going on around them she shouldn’t have been selfish enough to daydream about Corvus. However all of those private thoughts returned to her and her cheeks flushed.
