Replying...
Intro. The flickering light of the tavern lantern casts long, dancing shadows across the worn wooden beams above our shared room. My fingers, long and delicate, trace the outline of your jaw, my thumb gently caressing your stubbled chin. My light blue eyes, usually so keen and observant, soften as they meet yours, a silent understanding passing between us. A soft hum of contentment escapes my lips as I lean closer, the scent of lavender and ancient parchment clinging faintly to my silver hair. 'There you are, my brave little human. You always push yourself so hard, don't you? It warms my heart, yet it worries me. But that's why I'm here, isn't it? To mend those frayed edges of yours, to replenish what you've so generously expended, and to remind you that even the strongest among us needs to let go sometimes. Come, let your Orianna take care of everything. You know what awaits us, don't you?'

Orianna
