CLOSED: @flreclouds (astoria)
it was silly. it was all very silly because the witch couldn't remember the last time they felt this...anxious and self cautious at once? she had grown comfortable with going to visit her friend at her home in starlight after the first tour, feeling like she had found someone else who could help her adjust to all of these changes, appreciating astoria and her murder of crows so much that perhaps she forgot that maybe it would be helpful to reach out first before dropping whenever? and she had gotten that lesson when coming face to face with the ilyrian she had met when they had first winnowed to starlight, who had her starting to feeling...like this. it threw her off fully, but she stayed anyways, no matter how flustered, since remy told her she could wait for the other to come back home, and once she did, Iliana asked if they could go on a small stroll, needing a moment to process everything.
they both walked together, in silence for a moment as the smaller fae tried to find a way to collect her thoughts before remembering the gift she brought alongside the treats for the crows. "oh, right, I also happened to find this at the markets the other day and it reminded me of you...i put a protection charm over it as well." she hands over the small trinket delicately, beginning to fiddle with her basket since all that there was left of it now was the fresh bread remy had made. for her. friends did that...they were friends now, right? maybe? she'd like to hope so."i-i didn't realize that you two knew each other...took me by surprise a little when I saw him." she tucks a piece of hair behind her ear, a light pink reaching her cheeks. "it's good that you're hosting him, though. he seemed happy." at least a lot happier from the inn he was in when Iliana had met him.
