sitting outside the castle, her body huddled up in a warm blanket by the fire as she fought the dusk chill, was the most relaxed sofia had felt in weeks. the feeling of her powers running through her veins filled her with a glimmer of hope that she had long given up on. there was work to be done to figure a way out, but for tonight she was willing to let the dancing flames in front of her ease her nerves even if temporarily. she'd felt the light breeze in the air that motivated the flame's movements, gladly remembering that she could control it again if she wanted to. but not tonight. she had already spent her energy confirming that her powers were truly back already. "it is nice, is it not? the feeling that things are somewhat going back to normal?" no one else needed to know about the doubts in her heads, the cynicism about the whole thing, and tonight she wanted to avoid that too if she could help it.

their time in the dusk court was dragging on infinitely, and the prospect of not knowing when the barrier would fall and allow them out was starting to drive her mad. there was no information, none that she had managed to gather at least despite her best efforts. rumors from fae were not reliable but she knew to appreciate the hearsay and follow it up. some hearsay was based on hints of truths, she had learnt through the years, and at this point she had nothing to go on. sofia had stationed herself in a nook, acting like she was lost in her reading although her mind was busy coming up with plans to try and find out more. the approaching footsteps caught her attention, her eyes peeling away from the pages up towards the sound way before they approached her. "did i steal your hideaway place? i would apologize but no one has found me in hours and that was exactly my goal for the day."

with the return of their powers came a glimmer of hope that things could somehow go back to normal. even though their new normal would involve a previously hidden court, a second mother, and a million questions that were left unanswered. although the feeling of helplessness did not drain out completely despite the return of their dear abilities. she'd heard mentions of fae attempting to winnow out of the dusk court with no success, the feat leaving them drained of energy. if winnowing out of her was not an option, she knew that transforming into her crow form and flying away would be a futile attempt. besides, the most important fae of her court were here - she needed to be around with them. "this is absurd," she muttered to herself as she pealed her eyes away from the skies she was so close to convincing herself to fly into, her eyes immediately noticing the shadow in the room. she had let her thoughts block her senses, something she never allowed herself to do. what was this place turning her into? "i didn't see you there. sorry. i was just talking to myself."
