sometimes quiet is violent

The Masked Archer smiled at her young cousin when he spoke of them having each other. "That is very good indeed. We can look out for each other every step of the way and if something happens we won't be alone." It had been scary for her that first winter when she had been alone. She was glad Clouse wouldn't have to go through that.

Her attention was drawn to the sky when he spoke of some one coming home. Avella smiled again remembering her teachings. Like her little cousin she closed her eyes and made a wish that everything would turn out alright. Once her wish was made she opened her eyes again. "I hope they make it home safely."

Finally she realized how late it was getting. "We can talk more tomorrow but for now we should get some rest. Lots to do tomorrow." That said she rose to her feet and moved to enter the cave.
