Recluse Ithuriel-Klein

Recluse had expected the next time she'd wake up to be at the call of her wife. But that wasn't it. This was different. She'd spent much of her time trying to find her daughter, unsure if it was even possible to find Kali or if she'd never see her oldest daughter again, maybe ghosts couldn't summon other ghosts. Could she be happy, her daughter lost to her forever? Recluse would never stop trying... But Sparrow had certainly made her happy.

So it was totally new for her to come to and realize she felt much more... Real. Like the place she opened her eyes too was somewhere much less distant. Her paws felt like they touched the ground instead of hovering just above. The woman looked around, oblivious for a moment to the other presence.

Then as she slowly turned, mouth open slightly as she tried to understand where she'd woken up she spotted him. Recluse paused, going rigid for a moment as she tried to process. It didn't feel like it did when the dreams of the living summoned her... And his dreams hadn't brushed close in a while now. Recluse was coming to terms with being much less missed by the wolves she loved than she might have hoped. "Eraithus?" Her voice was weak, almost croaking. Slowly, so slowly, Recluse started towards him. There was caution there, but there was also hope. Her husband, the man she'd failed to be a wife for before she died... She'd felt forgotten, and yet she'd never stopped caring, had simply come to accept that from her point of view she'd not meant as much to him as he had to her... And yet he was here?

"What..?" Recluse wasn't sure what exactly she was asking, just searching him, his face. She wanted to fold herself into him, she wanted to seek the comfort he'd brought her in life but she didn't. Afraid she had been right all along. Afraid he'd not want her.
