Sorin had been expecting the hug, luckily, and he returns it with a warm laugh as he holds the package carefully in one hand.  Though it’s still new that he has the use of his hands again, it’s never an unwelcome thing, and he closes his eyes briefly and gives thanks to the Dawn Father that He’d led the two on their paths to intersect.  She ushers him into the manor and he follows, glad of the warmth inside, and he sighs happily as he lowers his hood and flicks his ears a bit.  He’s honestly not sure if he’ll ever get used to the cold, but she is happy here… and so here he will stay.

“I am well and everything is all right,” he replies cheerfully.  "The clinic is being managed by the others for now, and I did drop by, but… they told me to go on, as they had everything under control.“  He’d been extremely grateful for that- both he and Ane work tirelessly, and they are in need of this small reprive.  "I didn’t want Starlight to slip by without seeing you again- besides, I have a gift for you.”

His tone turns teasing.  "You’ll have to wait to open it, though- I want to see what you’re working on!“

{ ❀ } There is something amazing about the two of them having come together as they have, about two broken souls that found solace in one another that they have yet to find elsewhere in others. They two are so similar, so alike they could have been cut from the very same cloth, and even for all their suffering, for their hardships endured with tears and silence, Ane would have it all no other way but this. In Sorin she has found a dear friend and a brother not by blood but by choice, and for his constant heart and company, she thanks the Dawn Father in all her prayers.

“I am glad to hear it,” she says, quick to return this smile and cheer with her own. “I will admit I do worry about it at times… but just the same, I am grateful for the time away, too.” That Starlight is her favorite is an ill-kept secret, what with how her eyes light up every time she hears mention of it, and it simply wouldn’t do to keep her working straight through it. She finds a certain fulfillment in her work at the clinic, especially since the day she returned to Ishgard with a shard about her neck and silver starlight in her hair, but rest has its time and place as well.

“A gift?” Grey eyes are quick to sparkle, but when he lovingly denies her any access to it, Ane can’t help but burst out laughing. Siblings, indeed! “Not even a peek? How stubborn you are.”

Her tail swishes behind her as she angles her head just so over her shoulder, her blind gaze moving slowly and not fixing on any one point in the darkness. “Well, that makes two of us!” she teases, leading Sorin into the sitting room and back to the loom that lays on the cushions, adorned with silken threads of every color. “I thought I might spend some time weaving cords for our friends back on the Steppe… one for each of their children. They were often given as blessings in my village…”

She smiles wistfully. Even now it still hurts to speak of Yama, but that’s all right. Simply Sending its inhabitants would not take away the pain, and she never expected it would.

“I am hoping they come out well enough, but I can only guess.”

[redtailedcatte]

Sorin’s expression softens at the mention of Yama and the customs of her people. It’s hard on her even still, he knows, perhaps more immediately so having just returned from Yangxia. Memories are often quick to overwhelm, he knows, and it hurts to think about what’s been lost. He smiles warmly and puts a hand on her shoulder. “I think that’s a wonderful idea,” he says, “and they’ll love it- I know they will!” The bright colors are cheerful and welcoming, just as their friends had been- this will be a perfect gift for them. Still, seeing her at the loom gives him a melancholy sort of ache in his chest, the sort that speaks of his own losses coming back to the forefront. He gives her shoulder a gentle squeeze, perhaps to help anchor them both to the present. “You’ve picked beautiful colors... the warmth of the fire, the crisp smell of the pine trees, the cold air- they go perfectly together.”

Describing things in feelings or sensations has become a habit for him, one that she has always approved of. Feeling things for himself with fingertips long scarred and muted by the fire has given him a whole new range of things to describe to her. It’s easier to describe things this way than by their actual colors even to his own sight, finding that he prefers the feelings the colors invoke as opposed to the sight of them alone. A healer relies on such things a great deal- feeling things rather than seeing them, focusing on the physical as opposed to the abstract. This small routine of theirs has become a comfort in its familiarity, and he finds that he doesn’t want to do without it.

His tail swishes with excitement as his gaze flicks from the loom to the wrapped bundle that held her gift. “I’m almost more excited to give this to you than I think you are to get it,” he admits with a laugh. “It’s also partly making myself wait! I wanted to see you first and find out the truth of how things have been going for you.” He gently puts an arm around her and gives her a light squeeze. Things have changed for her since Shinryu... and though he probably doesn’t have to worry so much, not with Aymeric nearby, he still does.

“Are you truly well?” He asks softly.

The snow crunches pleasantly under his boots as Sorin makes his way from the Jeweled Crozier toward the Borel manor, a carefully wrapped package in his hands.  He whistles softly to himself as he walks, despite the bitter cold, taking great care not to slip and fall lest he drop his precious cargo- he’d searched high and low to find someone who could find this for him, and now that it’s here he doesn’t want to waste a moment getting it to its rightful owner.  It isn’t far, luckily, but his penchant for clumsiness is cause for concern… and when he makes it without incident, he sighs in relief and knocks on the door with a smile.

Ane will, he hopes, absolutely love this.

( @sunlitpeony )

{ ❀ } Having a day to whatever she chooses has become something of a rarity, and Ane relishes the opportunity to work on some weaving that has been long overdue for completion. It had been good to pick it back up as a hobby after everything that transpired in Othard, after the Sending of her village – her parents. For too long she had neglected this part of herself, and she breathes in deeply the scent of cedar. The circle loom feels at home in her hands once more, and with how each movement is rhythmic and fluid, it’s easy to lose herself in her work…

The knock on the door comes as a surprise, and when she moves to greet their visitor, she smiles brilliantly at the voice she hears. Silver eyes brighten well enough to put the moon itself to shame, and not a moment later she’s flung her arms about him.

“It is wonderful to see you,” she says, closing the cold out of the manor with a quiet click. “I did not expect to until we both returned to the clinic… Are you well? Everything is all right?”

Antique Dragon ENB

SCO Spring Overhaul with Aspens to Cherry Blossoms

[redtailedcatte]

Twilight has begun to fall over the Shroud, leaving the trees to spread even darker shadows on the ground beneath. This is arguably Sorin's favorite time of day- the air is cool and crisp, the brilliant colors of sunset have bowed to the darkening of the sky, and the stars are awakening one by one. As a Keeper of the Moon, he still feels drawn to the night, though it is perhaps less through biology and more through choice at this stage of his life. He has always loved the night, not simply because his people did most of their work by the light of the moon, but because it brings a sort of silence that can never be captured during the day. This is something he likes, and more than that, has found he needs- this time serves as reflection, as a break from the events of the day prior. It isn't strange, therefore, that he would be idly watching the stars come out from his vantage point over a valley, back against a tree, and smiling a bit to himself. His ears twitch when he hears footsteps, and he turns to peer around the tree curiously. It's not often people venture into the Shroud at night- while beautiful, it can also be somewhat dangerous, though admittedly less so around the area where Sorin has made his home. Whoever has ventured out must also like the night sky, he reasons, and the hilltop where he's relaxing does have quite an impressive view. The valley below holds a natural spring fed by a small waterfall from the cliffs above, and in the morning, all sorts of flowers bloom and rise to meet the sun. This, too, he finds beautiful- so as often as he watches the stars come out, he also watches the sunrise from the other side of the valley. His ears twitch again as the footsteps drawn nearer, and his sharp eyes make out the shape of a young man as he climbs the hill. A Midlander, Sorin thinks, and one carrying a rather impressive bow strapped to his back. His clothing is serviceable for being out in the wild, mostly practical leather and cloth- a tell that perhaps this young man is accustomed to being away from civilization. While Sorin is fairly reclusive, he doesn't particularly mind sharing his hill, and so he rises and steps out from behind the tree so as not to startle the young man by appearing out of nowhere. He leans against it and casts his gaze toward the sky again, and when the hyur is close enough, he looks toward him and lifts a hand in greeting, smiling just a little. He doesn't say anything- not yet- figuring that if the traveler wants a conversation, he'll start one. (( @unmeimusho ))
