The moment stretched, cold and quiet, as she watched him. Watched him accept her voice saying his name, head bowing. Vaguely a flutter of unease battered against her breast, a trapped butterfly that settled when she heard him. A new degree of comfort warmed her as he greeted her with her name before moving forward to meet her.
Patiently she waited for him, dark eyes as watchful as the jade ones observing from her back. Their variance in height did not bother her, and she dipped her head in wordless greeting as he came to a halt that careful distance away. Always there was that distance, deliberately marked out, two souls not quite sure if they could trust one another and leaving space to manuever should the need arise.
An ear twitched as he spoke simple words of smalltalk, a small, wry smile curving her lips. "I, myself, have fared well. I've been reunited with my son and have had a heart-to-heart with my younger daughter. But not all is well with the Edge, and I'm honestly surprised I didn't pick up a shadow when I headed out here."
As though expecting to see some dark figure tailing her path, she turned to glance back behind her. Her curving neck made her mane shift, revealing small glinting hints of the golden sun-marking that normally hid beneath the ebon curtain. Then she was looking back to Mauja. "They're not exactly thrilled with your herd right now."
