Cry together

Kitsune was settling back into her routines within Ashen. It was strange for her to be alone at night, and she found herself glancing in the general direction of the ocean at sunset, as if expecting to find some evidence of Iho there. She didn’t like being further from the ocean. After all, how would Iho find them again? But he knew where Ashen had moved to. He could come home any time. She just needed to wait for him.

It was late, and the sun had almost entirely fallen when she found herself prowling to the lake. The sound of water was soothing to her, and it was their largest source. She knew she needed to get on with sorting herself out a more permanent den, but she wanted Iho’s input it in. It made it difficult to settle into a place without him.

She reached the lake and was rather startled to hear the soft sound of weeping. She tilted her head, frowning at the sound. She followed the source of it, and caught his scent before she found him. “Enki, is that you? What’s wrong?” She asked him as she approached.
