a woman's mind and the autumn sky

The Kaicho's words wash over her and Sedna blinks rapidly, taking in a steadying breath, she even manages a smile despite the twisting pain in her chest. She was an Archer after all, so she forced a half hearted chuckle, a small nod. "I'm not sure I'd have the strength to say no if he did." Which only made her decision a little easier. "I've been discussing my youngest with Fuji, spring will be on us soon and the weather... It doesn't agree with Morganna and Erik. I think it for the best we head north, to somewhere cooler, to see if that helps." Where, she hadn't quite decided yet. She could see if Sirius would take them in, she would feel terrible forcing herself on Tenshi and Víðarr when they had found their own happiness together, but they would make a point to visit. Perhaps, she would even leave her children behind. Wherever she went, it was best to go somewhere difficult to find.

"I think it will make things easier for Fuji too, she wants my position, but doesn't want to force me out of it. She does have a brilliance about her when it comes to healing," and the infirmary was built, the garden was established. Her tiny daughter would thrive here, and she had made it clear she had no intention to leave. "Of course, I would be selfish, and ask that I still be allowed to visit." Its delivered with a hint of a tease to her voice. For someone who had arrived pregnant on the borders, expecting to be little more than a temporary burden, the bamboo really had grown on her.
