Even the gods envy mortals

Her headache had just finally begun to recede when she heard the approach of another. And as always, she expected her usual company, though this time … it wasn’t. Still a familiar face- one that didn’t hesitate upon entering her den. He knew right where she would be. And called her name with confidence, knowing that she would be there. Aurelia would slowly lift her throbbing head at the sound of her name on a voice she hadn’t been expecting. “Rhazien?” She mumbled, slowly pushing herself up off the ground and outside the den when he indicated that he wanted her to follow.  Movement was still difficult, but she managed well enough on a clearly painful gait.

Once outside, her attention was immediately absorbed as he settled on his haunches at her side, inviting her to call for Sephiran. As per their agreement, Aurelia would offer a slow nod in response, the stubborn set of her mouth and the hard line of her brows assuring him that she comprehended his command. Her eyes never wavered from his face as she tilted her head back and called for her warden. How quickly Sephiran would come, she wasn't sure. Though, as soon as her own voice trailed off, Rhazien issued a callout of his own- directed to whom, she was unsure. But she certainly had an idea.

"Aurelia Veratti"
