note to self: takes place a lil after valhalla threads
The sun was only just setting, casting the desert in shades of soft purple as Hanako waded into the oasis. She let out a pleased sigh as the water enveloped her fiery paws and stepped forward till the water reached her shoulders, her paws only just touching the bottom. Her companions remained by the shore, Toshi spilshing around with his little paws as Ruri gave herself a well deserved bath. It was easy for the Wraith to complain and moan about her problems but she knew that her friends were having a bit of a tough time too, but even then it was reassuring to know they'd follow her to the ends of the earth if she asked very very nicely. And for that she loved them with all her heart and more. This was just as much a treat to them as it was her, a merry moment before they had to head back home.
Something about this place felt familiar though. She'd never been here before, the swaying palm trees and dusting of greenery were completely new to her but...Oh! Was this the place Nolan had spoken of? She remembered how they'd met on Obsidian Beach, the way the sand and stars had sparkled for them and that he'd mentioned an oasis very similar to this one. If not the same. She felt a pang of guilt that she hadn't asked for him before, she'd been so busy with Wraithy, diplomat stuff that she didn't have the time, but now all was quiet all she could think about was the promises they'd made.
