Anticipated Heartbreak

After asking if Kotori would come speak with her, Ikigai made her way outside of the great hall and out into the sunny courtyard. There was still a great deal of daylight left after the wedding ceremony and the Auster summer was rather warm. If not for the gentle breeze, it would have been practically stifling. Thankfully there were many shaded places to rest on the castle grounds. Ikigai moved to the left of the doorway and out onto a grassy spot just off of the cobblestones. A large tree offered much needed shade and the slender fae curled up in the cool grass.

There was much to tell her friend and not all of it was good. Well... most of it wasn't what one would call good, but surely he could understand. Either way, she felt it necessary to tell him of her future. He'd become the closest wolf to her outside of family and he deserved to know. So she waited for him, lowering her chin to rest upon one bent foreleg. Once he was finished with his pleasantries inside, he would find her. She knew it.
